speaker\_duration, and speaker\_position do not display the progress bar in the interface, I also tried different variations of value modifications. Convert values to 100 or 1.

Just found this, when looking for examples on speaker\_duration, and speaker\_position - I wonder, Athom is still not showing that, correct ?

The solution you were showing here @Kraineff , can you share more please?

**update** Ah, I see, nice workaround by using existing speaker string capabilities 😉
