"Run Task Immediately upon detecting target computer online" setting

Had anyone had an issue where the checkbox with the above label in the Task Scheduler dialog box will not stay checked even after saving the bps file?

When you check the box to ‘Run task immediately upon detecting target computer online’ the setting is saved only to the row or rows that you apply it to. Then if you view the task/schedule that is applied to a row that has the setting, then you will see the checkbox is checked. However, if you view the schedule of a row that does not have the setting, then the checkbox will not be checked. Or if you have multiple rows selected when you go to ‘Create/modify scheduled task’ when the Task Scheduler window appears the box will only be checked if all rows have the setting applied. If only one or some of the selected rows have the setting applied then when BP launches the Task Scheduler window, it does not auto-check the box or auto-populate the task/schedule because the multiple rows do not share the same schedule, and only a single schedule can be shown in the window at one time. This does not mean that the setting is not applied to a row that you applied it to. It just means that the GUI won’t show the box checked when you are launching the GUI. If you want to always see it reflect the setting that is applied to the row, then make sure to only have the particular row that you’re interested in selected when you re-open the ‘Create/modify scheduled task window’. I hope this clarifies things for you. It’s a bit tough to explain it clearly in writing, but hopefully you understand what I mean.
