I'm trying to initiate a Process Model on the first day of each month, but I'm encountering the following error:

Problem: An error occurred while evaluating an expression for the Start Event.
Details: ERROR:EVAL:@reason=Assignment in invalid location
Recommended Action: Review and correct the expressions configured in the Start Event's Event Properties.

Would someone help troubleshooting this error in Appian?

    In the time box you have =1:00:0 but The time field needs format as h:mm a . Can you try replacing the value to simply 1:00 a it should come up like this  

    you can type in the box directly without opening the expression editor.

    Hello Harsha,

    Thank you for responding.

    However, I did updated the process model (timer) as you mentioned but I am still getting the below error email after I Save and Publish the process model.
