dgetzlaf opened a new issue, #6008: URL: https://github.com/apache/jmeter/issues/6008
### Expected behavior In gui mode, JMeter acts as always. In *non-gui mode* JMeter runs all Thread Groups endlessly, when there is no specified Thread lifetime. JMeter was used to run the number of configured Loops - even without a specified Thread lifetime.  Also there was a Property in the JMX beneath the ThreadGroup ``` <elementProp name="ThreadGroup.main_controller" elementType="LoopController" guiclass="LoopControlPanel" testclass="LoopController" testname="Loop Controller"> <boolProp name="LoopController.continue_forever">false</boolProp> <stringProp name="LoopController.loops">1</stringProp> </elementProp> ``` ### Actual behavior Since JMeter 5.6 the ThreadGroups without a specified Thread lifetime run endlessly. Also the property in the JMX beneath the ThreadGroup *is missing* ``` <boolProp name="LoopController.continue_forever">false</boolProp> ``` ### Steps to reproduce the problem Open a TestPlan from JMeter 5.5 with JMeter 5.6, save it and review the difference. Otherwise use this test plan [non-stopping-threads-jmeter-5.6.jmx.txt](https://github.com/apache/jmeter/files/11868850/non-stopping-threads-jmeter-5.6.jmx.txt) run in *gui mode* -> should execute... .. the setUp Thread Group once ..the Thread Group 4 times - run in *non-gui mode* `<path-to-jmeter-5.6>\jmeter.bat -t non-stopping-threads-jmeter-5.6.jmx -l jmeter.log -n` - tail the jmeter.log - see that the setUp Thread Group is not stopping (consecutive printing of 'Should exist only once') - abort the test execution ### JMeter Version 5.6 ### Java Version openjdk version "17.0.7" 2023-04-18 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 17.0.7+7-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.0.7+7-LTS, mixed mode, sharing) ### OS Version Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.19045.3086] -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
