Isolated variable inside loop iteration
Is there a way to have a variable that is only affected by one iteration within a loop activity? I mean, I have a variable var1 and it is updated within a loop, but I want that variable to affect only the particular iteration. That is, if I run 3 iterations at the same time, as all iterations modify the same variable var1, their values are overlapping. However, what I need is an isolated variable in each iteration. Is this possible?
Hi amaaiia
Data Factory pipelines don't directly support loop-specific variables.

Hi amaaiia
Thanks for using Fabric Community.
Data Factory pipelines don't directly support loop-specific variables. However, you can try this:Use Set Variable Activity:
- Inside your loop, include a "Set Variable" activity before your logic that modifies the original
var1. - Within the "Set Variable" activity, define a new variable specific to the iteration.
- Modify this newly created variable within the loop.
This might be helpful in your case. You can refer to this link for more help:

Hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.- Inside your loop, include a "Set Variable" activity before your logic that modifies the original
