Start Event - Time recurrence

Question

Hi All, 
 
 Can anyone confirm the format when I want to select only a set of months, I used = {1,4,7,10} for January, April, July and October 
 But not sure if this is the correct format for the monthly timer recurrence.

Thanks in advance

Agree with Mike, I believe that input is looking for an integer value only. 
 Additionally, instead of the XOR method we can also used the Advanced Timer Conditions, still set the process to attempt to start every 1 month, then add a condition which will stop the process from firing unless the current month is in your list: contains({1,4,7,10},month(today()))

I don't believe that's how it works. I will be surprised if this runs without error for you - that field (as far as I know) requires a single integer to mean "every 2 months" etc; an array of numbers will thus be nonsensical to it. 
 If you want to use a specific set of months, and you can't just tell it to do like "every 3" (after delaying the initial start to fall on the appropriate month), then just make it launch every month and check (i.e. in a subsequent XOR node) whether the current month is one of the "in crowd" months, and if not, then immediately exit the process flow.
