Loops and Retries

Hi @jellybean,
I am not sure I understand you right.

Do you mean retry the execution from the execution list?

If you retry a failed execution, it will rerun the workflow from the beginning, not continue from where it failed. The two options

  • Retry with currently saved workflow
  • Retry with original workflow

are there because you could have changed your workflow since the execution failed. n8n will save the workflow if it fails so you can rexecute the original workflow even if you have changed it.

To simulate your loop error I created this workflow, that fails if counter=200 or counter=300. I also enabled Save manual executions for this workflow.

Everytime I execute this workflow and retry it from the executions list, the error message is:

So it does not continue your workflow after 200 if you retry it.
