Hello there,

I'm building a rule that's supposed to loop through all nodes tagged with a certain taxonomy term and set an entity's value on each iteration.

After wondering why it didn't work anymore for all nodes that should be triggered I found out that "Limit result count" of the "Fetch entity by property" action is set to a default value of 10 (Line 86 of contributions/rules/modules/entity.rules.inc)

Is there any recommended way of making sure my loop iterates through *all* results?
Setting "Limit result count" to 0 or -1 doesn't help, neither does removing the default value by directly hacking the code.

Thanks for any advice,
Daniel

Just in case anybody has the same question: I solved it by creating a VBO-powered view that selects my desired nodes and use this view as the source of the item-list in my rule. Works like a charm and lets you much more freedom on how to drill down your data before processing it.

This feature still seems to be missing in the latest version at the time of writing. I think it is a quite basic and natural request, so it would be great to see this implemented in the next release.
