Pipline Throwing Validation error: This step requires a target, but the supplied one is an empty object

I have a pipeline that is throwing this error and I feel sure that this needs a loop somewhere but I cannot figure out a good way to add the loop as it does not show me a valid target. Is there something more comprehensive on adding loops that what is in the knowledgebase?

Can you be more specific about what you're trying to do? A loop is used for anything that pipelines structures as a list. So if you query a table for a set of records that is a list of records that Pipelines will require a loop to access the data since it will treat the object as something it has to sequence. The opposite would be doing a Record Lookup where Pipelines knows that its only 1 thing and evaluates accordingly. 

In your case - what is the action that you think needs to be looped through?

What is the business logic?    

A loop usually follows a Search.  If your first step is a Create somewhere and then you want to update records somewhere else with data from the Created record, then you need to identify in the Search which field to be updated.   That then happens in your loop

Create

Search

Update
