Grouped action on same table getting queued up as seperate updates

[Mahesh]

For a grouped action that had 3 different individual action each updating different columns in the same table there are 3 updates queued every time the action is invoked. Surprised because I had assumed queued updates are by table and not by columns. Anything I can do that would make the queuing by table, so performance is better.

Also I noticed the flushing of each queued update take a while. This is a new app with only 2 tables and less than 10 columns, only a few virtual column, no complex computations. So puzzled why this slow performance.

Just wanted to see if there are any suggestions. Thanks!

@Mahesh
What that 3 actions are doing? Are there any conditions set for each action? The may be entering a continous loop unintentionally.

@LeventK,
action1 - copy column1 value to column2
action2 - zero out column1
action3 - update column3 with some value

@Phil Doing it on client. When I say “queued”, I notice the red circle with the count of updates pending that get decremented until it completely flushed out.

Hi Mahesh,

Are you doing the Grouped updates via a workflow rule or Report, or are these happening on the client?
