@@ -218,7 +218,11 @@ The repeat action in itself is pretty simple: it requires
a workflow or pipeline
The action will continue to execute the specified workflow or pipeline until a
condition is met: either a variable is set with an (optional) value, or an `End
repeat` action is triggered in a child workflow.
-The example below runs a pipeline that increments a
`${openvar}COUNTER${closevar}` variable with each run. If the variable values
exceeds 10, a variable `${openvar}END_LOOP${closevar}` is set. This variable is
detected by the Repeat action, and the loop stops.
+If you use a variable name for the file to repeat, ensure a default parameter
is set with a file extension so Hop knows if it is a pipeline or a workflow
file.
+
+The samples project example below (/loops/repeat-action.hwf and
child-check-set-counter-value.hpl) runs a pipeline that increments a ${COUNTER}
variable with each run. If the variable values exceeds 10, a variable
${END_LOOP} is set. This variable is detected by the Repeat action, and the
loop stops. Because the Variable scope of COUNTER in the workflow is set to
“Valid in the current workflow”, when you set COUNTER in the child the new
value goes upstream.
