Run iterative macros for a given number of iterations whilst in macro canvas

If the workflow configuration had a run for 'x' number of iterations option it would make debugging macros a lot easier. My current method consists of copying results, changing inputs and repeat until I find my problem which feels very manual.

fully agree with you @IraWatt 

 

there's a lot that we could suggest for how to improve debugging of macros generally - like a way to manage the call-stack, and a way to simulate passing data between iterations without having to do all the work with files and interfaces.

This would be super useful, we currently have workarounds, but for iterative macros where successive rows rely on previous rows, the ability to see tool-by-tool how the second row is impacted by the first and so on would be helpful.
