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. 

    Happy to help. Even happier to optimize.

    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.
