hey team! I've a little question about playbooks and loops. There's a process that has a multiple choice question for example if answer is no, I want to the "no" branch does a feedback and get back to a process before the multi choice question. I've tried just to move the previous process to the "no" branch but it can't be added to that branch. Do you have any idea?

Hi
@Werner_Solorzan
! If I understand correctly, the current playbook model does not support "looping back" to a previous action.
Thanks
@recon_acook
! I was afraid of that, I think I'll have to change my playbook structure.
A loop like function is something that siemplify is working on. In theory, when that comes out, you should be able to use that function in a loop with maybe some parameters?
In the meantime, I would suggest placing the thing you want to do in a block, and then having the block run after the choice.
Another option for self-hosted folks might be the "Re-Attach Playbook" action in the "Tools" integration. I haven't looked into this much because we're use the cloud-hosted platform, but it may be worth looking into.
Did u find solution even i have same question
No, loopback to previous state is not supported.
This with a bad playbook design/misconf could cause hugely programmatic playbooks to go into huge loops cycles / infinite loops
I suggest Duplicating the specific Action a few times in the playbook, and use more serious words each time. If they the answer is wrong by 3 or 4, then manually intervene.
