Multitasking Behavior
Hello everyone 
. I've read a few forums about multitasking and didn't get much out of them, and am a bit confused. I am designing an app that acts as a timer as one of its functions, and I was wondering: if the user has the timer running, which works off of a "do every 1 second" timer which decrements an integer, and they switch to another app and come back, will the app hold their place (if they left with 3:27 left when they come back they will have 3:27 left) or will, when they come back, it have counted down for the time they were gone (the desired behavior)? Are there any workarounds for this?

Hi, your app will close if another is opened. So to save your time, you'll need to use the Save Attribute behaviour, as well as the Load Attribute behaviour to load it to start the time where you left off.
