'How often do you want to check for items?' does not work in 'When a file is created or modified (properties only)'

'When a file is created or modified (properties only)' has a new option 'How often do you want to check for items?'. I can set different values then 1 minute and then save without an error. However, when I edit the flow again, the value is switched back to 1 minute. Will this bug be solved soon?

    also having the same issue, it would be great if someone could like to a power user or community member who knows a workaround.
     
    alternatevly, if there's a roadmap anywhere of bugs and issues being worked on currently and how long they might take to integrate, that would be awesome.

    My issue is that the time remains the same but the flow doesn't adhere to the specific time I set.

    Hi
     
    Probably related to all the other trigger issues. I would open a ticket.

    I'm having the same issue.  I'm able to set it to a different value such as 1 Day but it the flow is not respecting the setting and just running almost immediately causing it to run too often.

    This is new to me. I haven't know that option is available now but seems like it is not stable yet.

    My organization doesn't have the new property, so you're the Guinea Pigs.

    I have also been having this problem for a couple of weeks now, really infuriating because it means the flow is running for too much and then I get emails warning me that my flow is running too many actions - as a result of me not being able to adjust the time in which items are checked for

    I have the same issue. It is so annoying as the function is truly there. Any ideas on how to set up a workaround?
