Periodical Timer buggy
Posted: 04 Nov 2014 10:13
1) Variables cannot be used
2) Variable-Names would have to be extremely short, as explained below.
When you try to use a global variable in order to set a "periodical timer" (in the IF-Clause i.e. trigger) of a flow,
you can only use 21 characters in total (for specifying timer-timeout).
==> 21 chars - 2 for "{}" + 1 prefix ("m" for minutes, "s" for seconds, etc.)
==> This only leaves you with 18 characters for the name of your global variable
But since a global variable always starts with "global", this even reduces your actual variable-name to the length to only 12 characters, which is pretty absurd for a useful global unique identifier.
Would be great if you could fix this! =)
