Best way to model only the first item of a collection

Hi!

I’m having troubles on how to correctly model the following:

The user should evaluate only the first item of a collection. If the item is approved, the process ends.
If the item is not approved and there is another item in the collection that hasn’t been evaluated, the process should loop back, and the user should evaluate the next item.

I think a multi-instance doesn’t work here, since this would imply that the user would have to evaluate all items from the collection before the process continues, right?

Thanks,
Bortus

You can use a multi-instance with a completion condition which would break out of the loop as soon as a specific variable like approved has been set to true for instance.
