No, this will not have any effect. You store the node outputs to process variables which are not affected by this configuration.

Hi Stefan,
Will going with the above option have no effect on the nodes which are out of the loop? Actually after the loop completes, we have few nodes that need to be processed from the data executed in the loop. Like mass addition of rows with items from loop to DB, sending Emails, etc

The issue here is that looping in a process is a bad practice and should be avoided.

In case you have to go this way, make sure to not pile up old node instances by enabling "Delete previously completed instances" for ALL nodes in the loop.
