Hey,  
1/ It would be great to be able to have a secondary IFTHENELSE in a branch of a primary IFTHENELSE to stop a process when we don’t know how many items have to be considered in that Process.

2/ It would be great too to have a loop system inside a branch of a creation action (Primaray IFTHENELSE or not) again when the number of item to be considered in a process is unknown

Your request seems very similar to this one ?

> [@Action Editor \> Connect/Add branching actions and conditions](https://community.glideapps.com/t/action-editor-connect-add-branching-actions-and-conditions/24544):

> The action editor is the most powerful feature of glide. It’s one limitation is that conditions are only allowed at the root level. Would love the feature to check one condition, make one change (like an increment or set column) and then continue the workflow/path contained in a separate condition. Kind of hard to explain in words. Watch the video below to see what I mean. Image uploaded by @Lucas_Pires@tristan @jason

Okay, we’ll close this one then so that any votes don’t get split.
