ForeachStateDefinition

The foreach state is a convenient way to divide some data and then perform an action on each element in parallel.

Parameter	Description	Type	Required
type	Identifies which kind of StateDefinition is being used. In this case it must be set to foreach.	string	yes
id	An identifier unique within the workflow to this one state.	string	yes
log	If defined, the workflow will generate a log when it commences this state. See StateLogging.	Structured JQ	no
metadata	If defined, updates the instance's metadata. See InstanceMetadata.	Structured JQ	no
transform	If defined, modifies the instance's data upon completing the state logic. See StateTransforms.	Structured JQ	no
transition	Identifies which state to transition to next, referring to the next state's unique id. If undefined, this state terminates the workflow.	string	no
catch	Defines behaviour for handling of catchable errors.	[]ErrorCatchDefinition	no
timeout	ISO8601 duration string to set a non-default timeout.	string	no
array	Selects or generates an array, from which each element will be separately acted upon. The action.input will be evaluated against each element in this array, rather than the usual instance data.	Structured JQ	yes
action	Defines the action to perform.	ActionDefinition	yes
