Have the ability to set a finite number of loops or break clause in a While...Loop

While...Loops are very useful but, in some circumstances, result in an infinite loop. It would be useful to have a property to set which would allow the TS user to put a limit on the number of loops before failing/moving on.

I'm very disappointed with this being declined as having break clauses in While...loops is a fairly standard coding practice. Changing the While...loop logic step to (e.g.) allow a maximum number of iterations does not seem to me to be a particularly difficult thing to implement.

Whilst I am very glad coded steps exist for complicated testing (e.g. iterating through visible rows in a grid to gather cell values), requiring a coded step to cover off something as simple as a break clause in a while...loop is a failure of the UI, hence the feature request.

Hi Lawrence,

The built-in While..Loop always relies on a verification. Therefore choosing the appropriate verification is essential to avoid infinite loops.

Any further customization of the While..Loop cycle can be accomplished in a coded step using the C# While..Loop in coded solution.
