If you start a process that sits in memory indefinitely and repetitively triggers&amp;nbsp;using a&amp;nbsp;timer then the value inside any referenced constant will be cached and changing the value of the constant in a UI will not have any effect.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you want to alter this value through an admin console you&amp;#39;d be better of holding that value in a database and dynamically fetching it into the process.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: Timer get value to start from expression rule of constant.</title><link>https://community.appian.com/thread/91978?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Tue, 08 Mar 2022 04:33:30 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">d3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:e1b3f6bb-022b-4ac8-aac1-bdcd8ac9c266</guid><dc:creator>Harsha Sharma</dc:creator><description>&lt;p&gt;Timers can be configured using constant or expression.
