Hey all, I’ve been looking into code node-free solutions to create a HTTP request retry loop with a counter variable that increments and breaks the loop once the retry limit number has been reached.
Strangely enough, I found that I was able to perform a += operation on a variable in another Set node earlier in the chain and use it as a counter.
The only source I was able to find describing a similar behavior is this post, but beyond this, I wasn’t able to find any official sources confirming whether this is a known behavior (feature) or a bug that could be patched in future versions. I honestly think it’s a pretty neat solution but would hate having to revise things in the future (would prefer to get things done in the best practice upfront). Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
