Hi,  
When I set the countdown with a visibility condition, it does not work. Ideally we should be able to hide it and still run, I am using it to update fields.

I noticed this happens to ids from other tables that are linked to the table.

What I do is set the style of the component to have all visible colours set to 0% transparency. That way it is not visible to end users, but still present on the screen.

Thx, that will also do, what I did actually was to cover with a white rectangle and bring to front like under the hood :D.
