# Stop the task execution if a text is repeated — Text Operations

Botize method — `plugin_strings.if_new_value` (action).

Checks whether a specific alphanumeric string has been used recently. If not, the task is allowed to run and further repetitions of that string are blocked for the configured amount of time. The system can remember up to 100 text strings of any size per automated task. Once this limit is reached, the oldest stored string will be discarded to make room for new incoming ones.

This is an action: it runs as a step of a task. Several can be chained.

## Fields you set

The field's internal name, its type and the values it accepts. These fields accept `{{...}}` tags from earlier steps.

- `value` *(string)* — String value
- `time_closed` *(string)*

## Output variables

Data this step makes available. Reference them in later steps with the double-brace tag.

- `{{is_unique_text}}` *(boolean)* — Is unique text
