Robot motion path gripper open time BUG

As you can see in the attached sample model, as soon as I put a time other than 0 in the Gripper Action Open Time field, then the clamp never moves. It does not open or close.

But if I leave 0 in the Open time field, then the gripper will close according to the Close Time field and open instantly in 0 time.

So there seems to be a bug when we put a value greater than 0 in Open Time field.

Patrick if you are just trying to have it close on load and then open after unload then you can just set either the close or open to a non zero/ negative value in 'Load' or 'Unload' motion path but not both.

If that's not your intention then could you describe what you're trying to do?

I realized that this is not a bug but a really unintuitive interface (tho robot motion path interface).

And I am not able to accept my own answer...
