Automation loop problem

Question

When one of my automation worked - its looped and work many time. I see this lops in automation logs(there was logs about success comment on linked issue) Why its looped I don't understand. Also I had Elements Copy and Sync program by which I make migration from Jira server to cloud. This program was enabled. This loops are finished when i  disable Elements Copy and Sync's recipes. How I can solve this problem for future?

Hi @Kamil Askerov

I'd follow @Bill Sheboy's advice in the other answer - and check if the "allow other rule actions to trigger this rule" checkbox is checked:

* Go to your Rule
* Select Rule Details
* Check if "Check to allow other rule actions to trigger this rule. Only enable this if you need this rule to execute in response to another rule." is checked
* If yes, uncheck it 
* Retest the rule

Let us know how it goes :)

Hi @Kamil Askerov

You do not show this in your rule details image, but I suspect you have enabled the "Allow Rule Trigger" option, and because this rule adds comments it triggers itself...which seems like a bad idea for this scenario.

Please try disabling that option.

Kind regards,
Bill
