workflow fails due to infinite loop

Hi, I have a workflow that works on create and update on fieild1 as a background WF, in the code I set the text field field2 to /test/ this is the only
thing i do in the WF code. however when checking the workflow history its initiating multiple running processes and failing after due to: /This workflow job was canceled because the workflow that started it includes an infinite loop./ the entity has no other plugin or code that changes field1. even i tested the WF on different entity with same result

what could be the problem?

Thank you

this is my execute method

       // Create the context
       IWorkflowContext context = executionContext.GetExtension<IWorkflowContext>();
       if (context == null)
       {
           throw new InvalidPluginExecutionException(/Failed to retrieve workflow context./);
       }

IOrganizationServiceFactory serviceFactory = executionContext.GetExtension<IOrganizationServiceFactory>();

IOrganizationService service = serviceFactory.CreateOrganizationService(context.UserId);

OrganizationServiceContext OrgServiceContext = new OrganizationServiceContext(service);

Entity formEntity = service.Retrieve(context.PrimaryEntityName, context.PrimaryEntityId, new ColumnSet(true));

formEntity.Attributes[/field2/] = /test/;

service.Update(formEntity);
