Describe the problem/error/question
In my workflow I use a loop to loop over a set of items. For each item I need to merge some data and execute an insert into a Google sheet.
This works fine for the first item.
At the second item it only executes part of the workflow (the creation of the sheet) and nothing gets inserted.
After that, the loop just ends. Only 2 of 4 items get processed.
I think this could happen because I use multiple inputs to merge some data which causes the loop to break, but I’m not sure.
What is the error message (if any)?
There is no error
