Hello all,

When I try to extend the timeout on a ADO Dataset Iterator the timeout feature is grayed out. This is the case for Automise V3 and V4.

Am I doing something wrong or is this not yet implented for this action?

&nbsp;

Thanks.

Ah found this:   
  
 You can set the ‘TimeOut’ property on the action using the action inspector (View -\> Action Properties Tab)   
  
 So it was grayed out because it had to be set elsewhere.

Hi Mike   
  
 It looks like the dev neglected to expose the timeout property to the UI. The greyed out TimeOut UI is only enabled for actions which implement timeout in a specific way, many of the older actions do not… it’s on our todo list to revisit the older actions and make sure they all use the generic timeout UI where possible.

Thought I would resurrect this thread rather than raise a new one to add my voice to this issue. I had not realised that the timeout could be set for this action in Automise v4, which was causing some problems in our system.
