Error description
Labeling in the dropdown is misleading (After start of Parent Process or Subprocess) on Boundary Timer and Intermediate Timer. They have different Trigger-on options. The intermediate timer (in-line) has for the first option "After Start of Parent Process or Subprocess" which in itself is misleading. While the Boundary (attached) timer has for the first option "After Start of Step". The main problem is the wrong DD option list is showing against a given timer type. This seems to be random and it is as if the BPD can only show one type of option list at once (regardless of what timer type you are on). So both types of timer could show the Intermediate timer event DD option list or visa versa. This is making options available that should not be there and when it is the other way around it is not showing options that should be there. If you have selected specific options previously it is difficult to know what was chosen as it could be showing the wrong DD list at that time, making it very difficult to trust.
