We have used dynamic content generation for generating .docx files with values, we are generating 4 files(A,B,C,D) in a process model. the files are generated and values are filled. However, if we generate documents again 2 of the files have newer version replacing the older version i.e., we have new links for doc B, C. Whereas doc D now saves as files A's previous version and we also have two new links for Doc A & D.
In the process model we first check if the folder has any doc's with file name in that folder and set a boolean to create new doc else replace existing one. first time when i generate the boolean is true for all and the new files are generated, But second time since doc d is now saved as older version of doc A in the folder the booean for D and A is true and the new docs are created. Did anyone else face this issue?

Can you clarify the behavior you are expecting and what is happening? If I understand your description correctly, it sounds like you need to check the logic of your process model.

I am expecting only one version of the file to be available to download with one file name and the previously generated doc should be saved as a older version of the file
