Timer refuses to start

Hello

 

I have another really frustrating issue

 

I have a basic timer with AutoStart set to false and a duration of 60000

 

Why doesnt the timer start when I call Timer.Start in a button click?  Should be so simple??

 

No errors nothing!

 

Paul

    Hi @paulinuk ,

    Put Start as a Variable (varTimer used here) then on the button

    UpdateContext({varTimer: false});
    UpdateContext({varTimer: true})
