"Go To Node" node

The idea is:

A “Go To Node” node. A lot of my Loops have various branches that draw many lines back into the Loop node. Having a clean “Go To Loop” that jumps the execution to the target node would be great to clean up the workspace.

I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

It would make complex workflows with loops easier to use and view

But why you can’t just use if or switch node and connect it to the desired destination?

I think this GOTO pattern is old fashion and kinda antipattern rn in software dev.

I guess “go to” is a bad example. I more so looking for a “continue” statement to restart loops without having so many lines. Basically n8n cable management. Would be cool if any node that is downstream from a loop that has branches (success vs error, if, switch, etc) could have a toggle to jump back to the loop.

That’s make much more sense now. Continue and break nodes would be a cool feature.

But I think the whole concept of n8n that a node need to have next connected node to go on.

That’s probably why they decided to avoid continue and break nodes. Remember it’s still low code platform :wink:

Yeah that makes sense, knew it was a long shot for people to jump onboard given the whole concept of n8n. A man can dream though haha

Dreaming is even highly recommended!
