This rule checks if a microflow contains a recursion. A recursion is, for example:
- When a microflow calls itself.
- When a sub microflow calls a parent microflow.
Recursion is a complex structure, and you should use it with caution. At the moment, Mendix does not have a built-in fail-safe for a recursion. So if for some reason the recursive calls keep going the app will crash. This can happen because of bad or misconfigured data, or a wrong exit condition.
In case you decide to have a recursion (notwithstanding the above), add an emergency brake that stops the execution if the recursion executes itself too many times (for example, 200). This avoids the app from crashing.
