Additional Reminder Information On Workflow Delay Action Minutes To Delay Field

Workflow

I was working with a delay action in a workflow earlier and forgot that the lower minute limit of the delay action is limited by the "Processing Interval" in the "Advanced Settings" section of the workflow.


If the “Processing Interval” is set to 480 minutes (the default) that causes the delay to have a lower minute threshold of at least 480 minutes regardless of the number value entered in the “Minutes To Delay” field.


I think it would be a good idea to add a reminder to the information pop up for the “Minutes To Delay” field on the “Delay” action something to the effect of…. “A delay is processed utilizing the “Processing Interval” value in the advanced settings of this workflow. The value entered here should not be less than the “Processing Interval” value in the advanced settings of this workflow.”


I think this reminder would be helpful for people who use the delay action infrequently or are newer to workflows in Rock.
