My web app is linked to a web map that uses 3 time-aware layers with disabled time animation. However, as soon as I click the Time Slider widget, the animation starts running unless I manually pause it. Is this intended behavior? There is nothing in the widget config that enables/disables by default so I would expect to link to my web map layer settings.

Francesco,

   Yes that is the intended behavior. The TimeSlider will automatically start when opened. There is a thread that has some code changes you can make to prevent this, if you are using WAB Dev.

Robert, 

After editing the code as shown in the resource you linked above, I am able to stop autoplay and wrong labeling. However, do you know how TimeSlider can be adjusted to show specific points in time (based on availability date), as opposed to ranges? The IS ImageSelector seems to do that but only for setting up secondary layers, not the primary layer a user might need to compare an older image to...
