Why does it sometimes take a long time to perform multiple searches on List items?
Why does it sometimes take a long time to perform multiple searches on List items?

If you are experiencing significant delays when conducting multiple searches on List items, it may be due to the inefficiency of processing each list item individually, particularly when dealing with large Lists. When each item is accessed and processed separately, the cumulative processing time for large numbers of items can lead to noticeable slowdowns.

To improve efficiency, we recommend conducting mapped operations on the entire List in a single action. Rather than iterating over each item individually, applying a single operation across all the required items can dramatically decrease execution time. For example, using the operator on MyList's field vs MyList:item 0's field, MyList:item 1's field would decrease the amount of time required for the operation to execute as opposed to it running against each entry in the list.
