Date & TIme Node triggers workflow twice

[Tom_Wischler]

Hello fellows, i currently have the following problem in my workflow.

Every time i run my workflow the “Date & Time” Node somehow triggers parts of my workflow again even though it`s just supposed to give me the current date + time ISO8601. As I remove the node from my workflow it works just fine. Is this a bug/“feature” or is it just me not understanding how workflows are working?

I would appreciate if someone could help me Thanks

Hey @Tom_Wischler

For me it looks like this request node (4th node) just returning 2 items (array of 2 elements)

@Tom_Wischler

As I remove the node from my workflow it works just fine

that’s would be weird unless request node use date and if not provide return error message (1 item)

Can you show what is output of request node when 2 items?
See on arrows b/w nodes n items, that how you can determinate how many items are outputted from the node.
What is your goal? I mean do you expect to request node return >1 item? If yes what do you wanna do? Maybe you want take first item, check in settings of request node if ‘execute once’ option is not what u need

Hey, thanks for your answer. The 2 items it is returning are the exact same items. As i remove the “Date & Time” Node or move it to a different spot it doesn’t output 2 items anymore which is good. But as i move it back to that spot it outputs 2 items again. Every output in this workflow is supposed to only output 1 items as long as i don’t split the arrays I’m working with.

Maybe that helps with my problem Thanks already for you trying to solve my issue

Can you share some part of workflow what you have problem with and input if needed?
If those items are identical then it could mean this request node run multiple times (shouldn’t happening as far I can see on screenshot)

Can you open F12 / console? When you execute node it will log something, is it log once (that would mean it one request what respond with two answer - correct) or two (wrong)?

Unfortunately I’m not able to share the workflow because it contains API Keys, URLs and Auth. Headers to company internal data and software. But as it looks it’s outputting the first item like it’s supposed to but the second one is just empty.

I just tried to replicate the bug from last week but as it looks the bug has somehow fixed itself. It’s not happening anymore even though i’m using the same data.
