Hi @RobynPr :
Firstly,let me explain why you encount this problem.
The point is Now and Today are volatile functions. Each time one of these functions is evaluated it returns a different value.
When used in a data flow formula, a volatile function will only return a different value if the formula in which it appears is reevaluated. If nothing else changes in the formula then it will have the same value throughout the execution of your app.
For example, a label control with Label1.Text = Now() will not change while your app is active. Only closing and reopening the app will result in a new value.
Secondly,Instead of using Now() in the Default property set the Default to use the value of a variable. Then in the timerEnd property of the timer set the value of Now().
For example:
1\Set the OnStart property to:
Set(Var,Now()) /*Var is my custom variable*/
2\Add a timer:
Duration:
5000 /*loop in 5 s*/
AutoStart:
true
Repeat:
true
OnTimerEnd:
Set(Var,Now()) /*Var is my custom variable*/
Visible:
false
Best Regards,
Bof
