Hi All, We have observed that when exception is caught in catch and thrown , finally is not executed . As per our knowledge , no matter what is the case , finally block should be executed always but its not happing right now. I am using community edition 2022.4.3 Is this an known issue in UiPath try catch finally ? ---

Hi, As I mentioned in previous post, it’s specification of try-catch activity. In the document, it’s described as the following. > The activities in the [Finally](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.activities.statements.trycatch.finally) section are executed when either the [Try](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.activities.statements.trycatch.try) section or the [Catches](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.activities.statements.trycatch.catches) section successfully completes. Unfortunately, as Try-Catch activity is made by not UiPath but Microsoft, there is no way but accept its specification at this time. Regards, ---
