Wait Until Trigger not working at all

In a certain part of a macro I'm making, I'm trying to get it (using the wait until trigger action) so that whenever a global variables content is changed to a specific value from a different macro, the actions in the original macro will run.

The actions I'm talking about is filling the clipboard with a local variables contents (I've tested that this works, so it's not an issue with clipboard actions) but no matter what the trigger is set to, it never triggers. I have no idea what to do at this point.

I've created two macros and tested the actions you mentioned without any issues,Could you share your macro? Either through a file or a partial screenshot, and I'll try it to see if it works properly.

Do you have any constraints in the macro?

In my experience a wait on Trigger action will fail if a constraint changes from the time the actions is executed to the time the trigger occurs. The changed state of the constraint prevents the macro from resuming. Consequently it appears that the wait on Trigger action is not working when you know the trigger has fired.

Does the trigger fire if you manually edit the variable?
