Rule/script unwanted looping

tomoconnell — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 00:13:49 GMT

Im using a rule to run a script when a document is moved or created in a directory.The script it runs is copying a folder template to said directory. This is then re-triggering the rule.How can this be avoided?

I suppose you have configured the in bound rule.To avoid unwanted looping ,your script should not be executed for copied content.
Copied content has specific aspect ,for which you can add condition in your script so that your script will not execute for copied content.

Thank you for this.

Solved using

if (!document.hasAspect("cm:copiedfrom")) {

}
