Recursive Macros

Hi all,

 

If you try to use Alteryx to solve simple recursive problems like the Towers of Hanoi; or solving Sudoku - you get this error

Please could we enable Alteryx to allow recursive macros - this would not only be helpful for problems such as Towers of Hanoi - it's also particularly useful for solving problems like walking an HR tree to get to the leaf nodes

Iterative macros can be configured to operate as a recursive macro. I use this commonly to traverse tree structures.
