Timer Countdown on timer end (on timer start) error

[ShaneITAutomate]

Hi,

I have a timer that ive changed to countdown, and the on timer end code is

If(Connection.Connected,
    ForAll(colTest,
	    Patch(NEWOfflineTEST,
		Defaults(NEWOfflineTEST),
		{
            random111:random111,
            random222:random222,
            random333:random333
        }
        )

    );
    Clear(colTest)
);
SaveData(
    colTest,
    "SavedTestData"
)

and it doesnt work, it doesnt patch and clear (i presume its because the timer isnt ending.. so i used the same code for On Timer Start.) however that gives me an error that the "name is too long"

this code works fine if i use the tradional text code of

Text(Time(0, 0, StatusTimerTest1.Value/1000), "hh:mm:ss")

rather than the countdown code of

Text(Time(0, 0, (StatusTimerTest1.Duration-StatusTimerTest1.Value)/1000), "[$-en-US]ss")

whats going on>? can i not use code on a countdown timer>/

Unhide the Timer control and check that it's starting. What's have you set the 'Start' property of the Timer to?

[ShaneITAutomate]

its set to false, it auto starts when i trigger it, because i have the following code on auto start

If(Value(StatusTEXTTest1.Text) >= 1, true, false) 

its some kind of bug.

Try setting that code on your Start property and setting the Auto Start to false.

I'm able to set a label's color and Patch to a SP list with the following setup:

Timer Property:

AutoStart: false

Duration: 3000

OnTimerEnd: 

If(vColor=Green,Set(vColor, Red),Set(vColor, Green));

Patch(myList,Defaults(myList),
    {Title: vTitle, ConversionDate: Now()})

OnTimerStart: false

Reset: true (try this setting first)

Start: vTimerStart

The Reset Property can sometimes be the issue so try that first. I wouldn't use AutoStart in the way you are using it, I prefer using Start. Timer as soooo finnicky to setup and use.

Did you check if your Timer is restarting and counting down each time ie UnHide it and see?

Hey Eelman,

I know what the problem is,

Ive copied and pasted the timer to save on time.. the timer is from an old app. Its not working properly because of this. Cheers for the help. I really do appreciate people such as yourself
