Is there a way to display the current time with the counting seconds? I saw it before on a bubble application but can’t figure it out. By using a Text I can show the current time, but it won’t update unless you refresh

Hey @ParliamentJohn, you can do it by creating a state on your page, and have the type of state be date, then go into your workflows and create a new “Do every 5 seconds” function, and change the seconds to 1 and make the action be set state of your web page and the value is current date/time. Then when you display it using a text you do, your page’s name’stime and then you can format it accordingly.

Hello,
You can try to use the following plugin:
Preview:
Editor:
It automatically updates the date each second.

I swear ive tried following your instructions, but I can just not figure it out
Would you like me to create a mockup of what I am trying to explain?
Yes Please. That would be great

I guess I am just too slow. Lol. Is it possible for you to make a video of you doing it?
What part is making you have some troubles?
Creating a state on my page. Idk how to do that. I thought creating states was IN the workflows
Sorry for the late response, I’ve been a bit busy. But I have attached a screenshot below of how you would create the Custom State.
Step 1: Click on your page - The page’s properties menu should open up, then click on the little ‘i’ as shown in the screenshot
Step 2: When you click on the ‘i’ you should see this menu appear
Step 3: After you have opened the menu create a new state by click on the button “Add a new custom state”
Step 4: When you click “Add a new custom state” a menu like the attached image should show up.
Step 5: Name the state, “time,” then the state type, “date.” Check the screenshot for a visual.
Step 6: Click the “Create” button.
Then you’re done! If you need any more assistance feel free to let me know!
Got it! Thank you so much!!!
