How to edit multiple delays at once

Hello,
I have a task that has many "Delay" actions. I would like to select multiple Delay actions and change the duration of the delay to a standardized duration like 5 seconds.
I tried to open the Edit task screen, type in "Delay" into the Filter text box. Shift click to select multiple delays, and click edit. However, this only changes 1 Delay action.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!

Unfortunately you have to edit each step separately.
If you want to use the same pause in each delay action you can use variables.
Look at the example.
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.
Code: Select all
