Describe the bug

Counters don't reset to default value when closing the config window. I've made a buff counter for Rogue's Roll the Bones If you're editing when the counter is active it won't clear itself and will force you to reload ui.

Disclaimer I do not develop TMW.

That's expect behavior. There's plenty of scenarios where you wouldn't want counters to reset. There also isn't a default value to reset to.

But you don't need to reload UI. There's a trigger "on icon setup" that will trigger every time an icon initializes, which means on login, after a /reload or when exiting TMW config mode. So you can use this to set the counter to a specific value on exiting TMW options.

Do note though, this will create a new issue where if you open/close TMW while the buffs are active it'll reset the counter to 0. Then when the buffs disappear it'll still apply the -1 meaning you counter will go into the negatives. Another reason why having a default value is a bad idea. Of course just opening/closing TMW config mode is a relatively easy fix.

Thanks! I think the on initialization notification will fix my issue. I'm making a buff counter for roll the bones on rogue

Thanks @Alwies. This is indeed working as intended.
