Duplicate entries on list action/recursive

ed19 · 2024-10-14T09:50:38.517Z

Hi all,

I’m experiencing some pretty odd behaviour with a particular workflow, whereby attempts to schedule on list/run it recursively are both returning duplicate entries.

In essence it’s a pretty simple workflow, as I’m just iterating over a list of things, then creating a report for each of them. I am however, seeing a fair few duplicate reports, meaning entries are being run on twice intermittently. I expect a degree of instability from schedule list actions, but have never experienced this recursively, leading me to believe the problem lies in my “do a search for” action finding certain entries twice.

Bubble have identified this as a bug and are looking into it (though haven’t specified whether it’s the search action), but I’m a little stuck until I have a resolution, so am wondering if anybody else has experienced this kind of behaviour previously, and if so is there any kind of workaround?

Thanks!

Hey,

It is hard to help/comment without more specifics so perhaps you can share some screenshots of the workflow in question.

In my experience, this would usually happen when there is a step (or series of steps) that requires some heavy lifting to process before the workflow gets to the end to reschedule itself (in the case of recursive) or move on to the next item (in the case of schedule API workflow on a list). This might be something you can look at but beyond this, it is hard to make any recommendations without getting more info.

Unless conditions / dynamic data on the action prevent it otherwise, Schedule API workflow actions run at the start of the workflow.

Thanks both, definitely some useful nuggets in there, but think I’ll have to wait on bubble for a fix unfortunately.
