Hello my internet friends.

I’m trying to make a timer script but it will not execute. I’m new to this part of Ignition so maybe I’m missing something obvious. I’m just started testing this with a simple hello with a logger. But that does not do anything. See attached screenshot. Any help would be appreciated.

What is your evidence this isn't working? Are you checking the gateway's logs?

Have you saved the project since you set up this timer script in the designer?  
Is the project you're creating this timer script in marked as 'inheritable'?

Oh my god…Thank you. . I didn’t save the project. It just had to be something dumb like that. I’m usually a chronic ctrl+s guy. Shit this is embarrassing.

Happens to everybody 😃

Trust me, it's only top of the list of things to check because I've done it myself.
