Simultaneous folder create error

[kr74i0au]

 Does anyone know why the folder Create Folder primitive would generate a "folder already exists" error when attempting to newly create two different folders with a common base path simultaneously? Only one of the primitives generates an error. No error is generated if the order of operations is set explicitly by wiring the error cluster from one Create Folder primitive to the other.

Is there a reason you need to create them "simultaneously"? You can create and execution order easily by passing the error out cluster of either function into the error in of the other. Can you give us an image of the actual error message?  How much of the path is already existent, i.e. is subfolderB already existing, how much of the path to the final folder has to be created, is there any overlap, so that they both are trying to create an intermediate folder?

Thnx,

Does "subfolderB" exist before hand?

Both sub-folders require an update of the directory to complete the creation so it almost sounds like a bogus message. A check for that erro and re-try probably will function as a work-around.

Just run into the same problem (LV2017). It's a side effect that can be logically understood, although a little subtle.

In a complex application, it may let you loose some time to find it. I think it deserves a remark in the documentation which is not there.
