'Terminate this workflow' performance issue

Hi there,

I’m wondering if others have experienced page loading delays or performance issues using terminate this workflow with a conditional filter (Only when…)

I read this post about another user, who seems to have experienced a similar issue.

"Terminate this workflow action with condition check" performance

Hi, Has anyone noticed that this workflow action when used with a condition check is stressing their app? I’ve got this simple workflow to create a thing in the DB and i’ve set up the timer plugin(neat plugin Airdev Team ) to measure times. [image] These are the results without the terminate workflow action. [image] And now I’m going to add a terminate workflow action with a condition that needs to be checked. I’ve added step 5. [image] And these are now the results. […

In my specific case:

• my workflow is attached to a button
• that button is inside a repeating group
• the workflow function is to navigate to the next page in the repeating group (or terminate based on a condition)
• the workflow is inside a reusable element

Some behavior I’ve noticed:

• there is a noticeable delay before the repeating group advances (about 4-5 seconds) when terminate this workflow is present inside the buttons workflow
• when I remove terminate this workflow the workflow action executes almost immediately and the repeating group advances
• I have a ‘back button’ that returns to the previous page. When I advance to the next page, then return back, then execute the workflow for a 2nd time. It is much quicker to complete on the 2nd time. This doesn’t continue after a refresh of the page.
• It doesn’t matter what the condition inside terminate this workflow is. It is slow regardless. I have tried evaluating a simple boolean state, the current time, complex do a search for… db queries and each yield the same long 4-5 second delay.

I’m wondering if this is behavior others have experienced?

I opened a bug report sometime ago about this issue but unfortunately it wasn’t affecting too many people to have enough priority for Bubble team.

I was wasting more time trying to set “scenarios” for Bubble to investigate than working on my app.

In the end I gave up and looked for another approach. It wasn’t worth the time.

But I can assure you the terminate workflows are bugged as they affect performance.
