Balanced Select - Learn WorkflowDog

Balanced Select favors the least-used option. It can track balances for this node automatically or use counts supplied by the workflow.

Modes

Managed internally
Provided balances

Add one or more Options and leave Manage state internally? enabled. The node stores a balance for each option within the project, selects the first option with the lowest balance, then adds Increment to that option’s balance.

Input	Type	Required	Description
Options	Repeatable any	Yes	Values to distribute selections across.
Increment	Number	No	Amount added after selection. Defaults to `1`.

Output

Output	Type	Description
Selected	Any	The value belonging to the lowest balance.

In managed mode, balances belong to this node instance and are stored by option position. Reordering, adding, or removing options can associate existing counts with different values.

Simultaneous runs can inspect the same stored balance before either update is saved. If strict one-at-a-time distribution is required, serialize runs or provide balances from a transactional external source.
