ForEach inside IF is not allowed in Synapse

When I try to add ForEach activity inside the IF condition - it throws validation error "cannot have ForEach inside IF"

Is there a workaround/fix for this?

This is common issue across ADF & Synapse so I'm tagging both.

    Hey,
    Currently no iteration activities except Filter is supported within IF activity across ADF and synapse.
    In case if you need that, then please follow the below process:

    1) create a pipeline with the ForEach logic
    2) use Execute Pipeline activity within the IF activity and call the pipeline that contains ForEach
