For each value in the list, execute one or more tasks sequentially.
This task is deprecated, please use the io.kestra.plugin.core.flow.ForEach task instead.
The list of tasks will be executed for each item sequentially. The value must be a valid JSON string representing an array, e.g. a list of strings ["value1", "value2"] or a list of dictionaries [{"key": "value1"}, {"key": "value2"}].
You can access the current iteration value using the variable {{ taskrun.value }}. The task list will be executed sequentially for each item.
We highly recommend triggering a subflow for each value. This allows much better scalability and modularity. Check the flow best practices documentation for more details.
type: "io.kestra.plugin.core.flow.EachSequential"The taskrun.value from the each_sequential task is available only to immediate child tasks such as the before_if and the if tasks. To access the taskrun value in child tasks of the if task (such as in the after_if task), you need to use the syntax {{ parent.taskrun.value }} as this allows you to access the taskrun value of the parent task each_sequential.

This task shows that the value can be a bullet-style list. The task iterates over the list of values and executes the each_value child task for each value.
