Hoe to prevent a loop in a Business Rules

Question

Hello,

I have a Business rule that does the following :

If 'extentionAttribut9' property has changed AND
the 'adm-CustomAttributeTextMultieValue1' property equals 'Add Groups' then
Execute custom command 'my custom command 1'

If 'extentionAttribut9' property has changed AND
the 'adm-CustomAttributeTextMultieValue1' property equals 'Clone Groups' then
Execute custom command 'my custom command 2'

The problem is that I want property "extentionAttribut9" to be reset at the end of the process.
If I do it I will comes into a loop.

How can I prevent it?

Thanks in advance.

I did somethings like this and Adaxes has somethings to prevent loop.

Added :
...
AND
the 'extentionAttribut9'property equals 'UserName' then

...

IF the 'extentionAttribut9'property does not equals 'UserName' then
Set ExtentionAttribut9 to UserName

Hello,

Do we understand correctly that you want to clear the extentionAttribut9 property?

If that is correct, you can use the If extentionAttribut9 is not empty condition for both sets. To do so:

1. Right-click an action in the set and click Add Condition.
   
2. Select If <property><relation><value>.
3. Select If Extension Attribute 9 is not empty.
   
4. Click OK.
5. Repeat all the steps for the second set and save the changes.

Also, it is not recommended to remove the If operation succeeded condition. In this case the Business Rule will trigger even if updating an object was not successful. To add the condition to both sets:

1. Right-click an action in the set and click Add Condition.
2. Select If operation <result>.
3. Select If the main operation succeeded.
   
4. Click OK.
5. Repeat all the steps for the second set and save the changes.
