The Repeat Number of Times activity needs a "time between repeats" property

I need to slow down a repeat, but there is no way to do this within the activity itself. So I’ll have to use a Delay activity. It would be great if the Repeat Number of Times had a “time between repeats” property similar to the Retry Scope activity’s “Retry Interval” property.

@postwick Hope it will help

  • Create a “Do While” loop with a counter variable.
  • Inside the loop, perform your desired actions.
  • Increment the counter variable after each iteration.
  • Set the loop condition to check if the counter is less than the desired number of repetitions.
  • Use a “Delay” activity within the loop if you need a pause between iterations.

I know how to do it, and it’s much simpler than all that - just a Delay activity added. The Repeat activity should have this setting. This post is feedback.

Interesting suggestion @postwick.

I can’t say I disagree with the sentiment, and I will save it in our backlog for sure.

But because this has a very easy workaround (a single extra activity), I will most likely prioritise other features/improvements over this one quite often unless it gets a lot of attention :slight_smile:
