Will a validate step within a repeat, stop further repeats/loops?

Hi all,

Quick question.

I have a repeat, and this repeat inserts data into the DB. I want to avoid a duplicate. Normally I’d do a lookup on that record within the repeat and then use a condition but I feel validate would be faster.

In this example:

Repeat will loop 5 times. Each time if validate step does NOT find a match, it inserts records in DB.
Validate Step finds a DUPLICATE in the first loop.
Will the repeat continue for then ext 4 times, or due to validate will it stop all remaining loops?

I believe it will continue, as that’s the nature/purpose of a repeat, but want to double check.

Thanks.
