Hi Kirk,

What you can do is:


start —> user task  –+
                 ^——|

attach boundary timer to the user task with an expression. (may be you will need to change cron expression to duration …)
Do not cancel user task in the boundary event. When you will change variable in the user task and complete user task after that boundary timer will be recreated again.
