I am working in a service where I have two runtime data sources, I will refer to them as X (cardinality-many) and Y (cardinality-one) and they are of the same object class. ![Data source X](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/9/9d75130c0e0d7f0816b437be9e253e73a2a23a6c.png) ![Data source Y](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/8/8481b7b93dfbb4e109a48c5eb1978a3ac19a658c.png) I have a for loop that iterates over a data source and in each iteration, I would like to create a new object in X with properties that do not depend on the current data source that I am iterating on. However, I get the error message: `Error: Unable to find object in context - Iterator has probably been changed`. Now that is strange, because that literally happens in the first iteration, and I haven’t modified the iterating data source at all. Nevertheless, I tried a workaround solution to create an object in Y first then read it to X, but the same error message occurs again. At this point, I’m just confused. To investigate further, I tried to create an object in Y **OUTSIDE** the loop and filled the properties with some hardcoded values that do not depend on any other data source - and the exact same error message appears. Note that I’m not even depending on any object in context, I’m just creating a completely new object. ![Error appearing at create object action node](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/9/90898f3f8a496a354efd8d9e3569b7df28d01edd.png) As you can see from the attached image, this is the flow that I’m using now, the disabled create object was to create an object in Y and the one with the error is creating an object in X. Both result in the same error. ![Error in log](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/9/995ffb8ecd67dc37076342882a9cd052296e56f3.png) I checked the permissions for the object class and I already enabled `Create, Read, Update, Delete`. Does this happen to be a bug? ---

Hi! First off: Are you iterating the same data source `Order line (runtime, many)` twice (I see 2 “For each” loops)? Og just in the outer loop? And, are you setting selection on that same data source? You cannot iterate the same datasource twice (since it will have 2 contexts inside the inner loop - not a feature we have), and if so I guess you might get errors like this. Also note when combining iterations with selection, you must be aware that [object in context supercede the selected object](https://docs.appfarm.io/reference/platform-concepts/objects). This is not a direct answer, but might help to pinpoint the issue! ---

Nope, I’m not iterating on the `Order line (runtime, many)` data source; the for loops are iterating on separate data sources that are not of the object class `order line`. I’m just creating an object which is independent of any other data sources. In theory it should work. ---

@kristian Here are the screenshots of what I tried out where I tried creating an object in `Order line (runtime, one)`. ![Action set up](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/9/9ef221e5735a95cd526b1732115ed5f7d5a1e63f.png) ![Service flow](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/a/a834c3efc39ae06cfe9695df36f872d545a94a7e.png) ![Screenshot 2024-11-27 at 12.43.08](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/appfarm/original/2X/2/2f0a9324427cf3c2be3471cbc773b5da34a6b0b3.png) As you can see, just creating the object at the start of the action already causes the same error ---

Ok, thanks. In the red error box, can you screenshot the “Show details” as well as providing a screenshot of the Create Object setup failing? Might DM if easier. ---

Hey Kristian! Did you find a solution for this? ---

Hi, No, we did not conclude on the reason behind. But re-creating the data source solved it, which supports the hypothesis of some local issue related to the metadata of that specific datasource. If we find a similar case again, we might try to pinpoint it if we can get a copy of the app, and an isolated case (e.g. a button triggering the action with this error), and access to the solution. ---

Hi! Ok, thanks! I just tried recreating the datasource which did not fix the issue. Creating a new service however fixed it.
