Dear Community,

I am using Power Automate Desktop and have encountered an issue with the "Duration of fail" field in the "Wait for Web Page" action. I am attempting to set the duration to 55 seconds by entering '55' into the field. However, I receive an error message stating "Expression must contain numeric value".

I have tried entering the number without quotes and ensured there are no spaces or non-numeric characters. My Windows and Power Automate Desktop are set to English, but my keyboard is set to German. I have checked my keyboard settings and they match the language I'm using in Power Automate Desktop. Despite these efforts, the issue persists.

In an attempt to resolve this issue, I sought assistance from Microsoft's Copilot AI. However, the suggestions provided did not resolve the issue.

I would appreciate any assistance you could provide to resolve this issue.

Best regards.

Hope you are doing well!!

It appears that while you were designing your desktop flow, you activated Power Fx, which is resulting in a syntax error within your flow.

If you're not familiar with Fx syntax and formulas, I suggest recreating the flow without enabling the Fx option during creation.

Fx Method:
Alternatively, if you wish to resolve the current issue, please utilize the syntax provided below:

Just a tip, if you do not want to recreate the entire flow, open a new flow without the Power Fx enabled add the wait step to the empty flow, copy and paste into the flow with the Power FX enabled.
