### Expected behavior When the value of a Constant Timer references a variable or a function call the following must be preserved (as it happens for a numeric value): 1. Constant Timer runs after a PreProcessor 2. Constant Timer does NOT run as the 1st element in a JMX I see a problem with current behavior: 1. Either the documentation should be clear about restriction to use anything else than numeric values and also implement a validation which rejects any other format value 2. Or fix the current issue(s) I think Constant Timer is used by other timers (Random ones) so they may be impacted as well. ### Actual behavior [jmeter.log](https://github.com/apache/jmeter/files/13491004/jmeter.log) [ConstantTimer-bug.zip](https://github.com/apache/jmeter/files/13491010/ConstantTimer-bug.zip) ### Steps to reproduce the problem Attaching sample JMX; I do recommend to set log level to DEBUG to see sequence of execution better. ### JMeter Version 5.6.2, 4.0 ### Java Version OpenJDK 64-Bit v17.0.9 ### OS Version Windows 11 -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
