Is there a way to delay an action in Ninox?

Hi guys,

I'm wondering if there is a way to delay an action in Ninox.

So when 'field 2' := 'field 1' can there be a delay? something like 'field 2' := 10_minute_delay('field 1')

There are no timers in Ninox

But you could possibly set a condition that when the field2 is updated and matches you then invoke a for -next loop counter to force a delay onto what ever action you want to do next

Wow, ok. Do you have any tips on how I can figure that out?

You could try using sleep() – pauses a code by the number of milliseconds entered, so sleep(5000) will pause a code sequence for 5 seconds.

  Simon but it will also pause the complete database so nobody can do anything there, see documentation: https://docs.ninox.com/en/script/functions/sleep
