Dynamics 365 plugin development – how to avoid infinite loops

In some scenarios, it is necessary to develop a custom #plugin assembly that is called from #Dynamics 365 #workflow. Within the plugin source code, there are different ways to handle the data that is passed to the plugin by the execution context.
