Hello,

I'm trying to make a program where I ask the operator to give some values via assignment window but I want to make it so if no input is given in x amount of seconds the window will close and the program is halted. I tried to do this with dashboard server command: close popup. It closes to window but then it opens up again immediately right before the program stops. Is there any way to do this or is there another way to receive input from the operator?

Found solution for this if anyone else is having the same problem. I just had to repeat close popup command twice in a row with 0.01 second wait in between them and then the assignment window closes and doesn't open up again. No idea why it works like this but I realized that similar thing occurs when you try to close the window by pressing cancel. You always need to do it twice before it actually closes.
