loops - Stop System Center Orchestrator 2019 looping on previous tasks data

Question

Is it possible to have System Center Orchestrator 2019 stop using the data retrieved from the previous task in a runbook?

I have a task that gets 5 server names from AD in one task and puts the data into a table in an SQL DB in the next task, but then the task after that runs for each server it put into the DB. I just want it to run once. I've tried using looping settings, but it's not working as I expect it to, or perhaps I don't understand its use properly.

I'd like the runbook, to get the servers, put them in the DB, and then for the next task to just perform the task it's assigned, not perform it on the data from the previous task.

I've been looking all over for this info, and can't seem to find a way.

I want it to be done in the same runbook, I don't want to have to start another runbook in order to perform the next task if possible.
