Property Substitution for time?
Posted: Sat Apr 30, 2005 10:18 am
I am trying to use the new property substitution feature and I've run into a problem. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's a bug (if I bug I'll open a support ticket).
I created a new time property. I then created a task to set this property to %%System Time.TimeAndDate%% whenever a certain property changed values. When I did this and then looked at the task the line I just added looked like this:
Change 'OmniPro II.Security Mode Time Set' to '12:00 am'
This didn't look right and no matter what I did I couldn't get the substitution string to "stick". To test a bit more I created a property change button on a theme and used the same property and substitution string. This time the substitution string "stuck" but whenever I pushed that button I saw this message in the HouseBot status bar:
Error: Unable to parse default time value [4/30/2005 7:16:06 am]
I tried substituting %%System Time.Time%% also but got a similar error. Am I missing something here?
