Error in Power Automate "Flow Control: Wait" setting

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 2
Hello.
I am a Japanese Windows 11 user.

I would like to create a simple work in Power Automate that clicks a specific location every 30 seconds, but I get an error when I try to "wait" in flow control.

I set "wait" in flow control and entered numbers in half-width characters, but I get the error message "Parameter 'duration': Expression must contain a 'number'."
I have tried not only entering numbers on my keyboard, but also copying and pasting numbers from a website, but the error persists.

What settings should I review?

Thank you in advance.

    hi
     
    To me it looks like you typed more than just 30 ONLY type 30 there, what are the other characters for?
