Max Iteration property for While loop activity does not seem to work

Help Studio

Max Iteration property for While loop activity does not seem to work for Studio 2024.10.5 community edition version. It works for Do-While loop only. Is this true? or did I do some mistake? Pls advise

Yes, in UiPath Studio 2024.10.5 Community Edition, the Max Iteration property only works for Do While loops, not for While loops. If you want to limit iterations in a While loop, you’ll need to use a counter manually.

Hi @mala.selvaraj
There could be some bug in UiPath’s new releases sometimes.
What i prefer you is, remove the activity and use it again.
Or, close UiPath and reopen it for the memory to be settled.
And finally just have a double check at the max iteration property value.

Hope this helps
Thank You
Happy Learning.

I am attaching a picture for your reference

This image shows a "While" loop configuration in UiPath Studio, set to log the message "Hello" continuously as long as the condition is true. (Captioned by AI)

Thanks your replying. Yes, the UI shows a input box for Max Iterations like you have shown, but it does NOT work when run. Does it mean, it exists but it is not functional?

Hi @mala.selvaraj

It is functioning.Try by deleting the activity and insert again from activities panel.
Just now Tried.
In the below image reference,Generally while loop need to iterate 5 times. But as we are providing Max iterations as 2 ,It is iterating 2 times.

The image shows a UiPath workflow with a sequence that initializes a "count" variable to 1, and a "While" loop that logs the message "Hi" and increments the "count" variable until the count exceeds 5. (Captioned by AI)

Output

The image depicts a UiPath workflow that assigns the value 1 to a variable named "count" and iterates using a "While" loop, with a condition of , and prints "Hi" twice in the output panel. (Captioned by AI)

It does work for me.
I get the output as per the iterations number.
Please try deleting the activity and doing, as I had mentioned in my first post.
