Edit rule that contains wait for event

I have a rule that is triggered at sunset. The rule actions include a couple of wait for certain time events. The final wait for time event occurs at sunrise.

If I edit part of the rule, after it has triggered, but while it is still waiting for the time events, will that remove the scheduled wait? The part of the rule I’m editing is NOT the wait for event.

In other words, if edit the rule between sunset (the trigger) and sunrise (the last wait event), will that negatively impact the wait for time events and cause my rule to misbehave?

If you edit a rule and click done, the rule is initialized and any pending waits are canceled.

You would need another trigger to start the rule again, or you can click the run actions and the rule will be triggered.

After clicking run actions do not click done again as that will again initialize the rule. Just go to the apps page. Clicking run actions may or may not get things back the way you want them, it would depend on your rule.
