Hi, I configured the inject node to trigger "at a specific time" but I also wanted it to inject once after 30 seconds at startup

But the "inject once after x seconds, then" option is missing when selecting trigger ""at a specific time". So I had to add two inject nodes in parallel to solve the need. This seems a bit unnecessary, so it would be great if the missing option also could be added when selecting "at a specific time" (unless there would be some sw collision of some kind I can't see)

Best regards, Walter

Yes - does seem a bit unnecessary to hide that only in that case...
