Need for Loop Mechanism in Datacap to Handle Dynamic Function Executions Efficiently

Expected Frequency of Usage:
The feature would be frequently used in scenarios where repeating a specific function is required until a certain condition is met. This is often necessary when the condition depends on dynamically changing variables, such as comparing two variables where one variable is incremented each time the function runs.

Specific Trigger or Scenario:
The issue typically arises when there is a need to execute a function repeatedly, but the exact number of iterations required is unknown in advance. For example, when the initial value is dynamic, and the condition for stopping is based on a comparison that is not predictable, it is difficult to find a suitable solution without a loop mechanism.

Business Impact:
The lack of a loop mechanism necessitates finding workarounds to handle cases where the number of function executions is not predetermined. This makes the solutions more complex and less efficient, as they often require duplicating functions or creating less optimal logic. Implementing a loop mechanism would simplify these processes and result in more effective solutions.
