Question about Simple Timer/Stopwatch

I have a countdown timer on a tab. If someone clicks on the countdown timer it starts counting down.

How do I get it to reset or cancel the timer if the user clicks on the next tab. As it is at the moment the timer is carrying on even though the user is no longer on that page.

I have the timer set up as a resuable element, so there doesn’t seem to be any way of reset or deactivating the timer when the user clicks the next tab button.

Hope there is a solution as the countdown timers are all working great. It was just that I realised there was this problem whilst beta testing.

Thanks!

Hello, @Siddhartha. Thanks for reaching out.

Let me please check what it is possible to do, regarding your request. It might take some time.
I will inform you once I have any useful info.

Thank you for understanding :pray:

@Siddhartha,

Unfortunately, the Countdown element has the only one Event - A Countdown End Countdown, which can be used when the Countdown value = 0.

There is no option to use the Countdown element for the purpose you are asking about.

But you can use the Timer element and try its Events/Actions to reach your goal:

Hope it helps :pray:
