"Parent loop not found"

Overview

This error event indicates that the Control Loop Action was configured to break or continue a loop, but no valid loop was found.

Event examples

See some examples of the Parent loop not found Event messages:

  • Task "Process HTML invoices" Action "Control Loop" parent loop not found. [aw:2]
  • Action "Control Loop" parent loop not found. The parameter is incorrect. [os:87]

Cause

This can happen in two common cases:

  • The Action was set to target a specific loop (using the Nested loop escape control option), but the referenced Loop or For Each Action deleted.
  • The Control Loop Action is used in a Task that does not contain any loops at all. Since this Action is designed to control loop behavior, it must be placed within the context of an active loop structure.
