Allocation is not following the trigger variable status

[Anas_FAISAL]

Hello,

I created an Allocation to allocate the value of a source variable to a target variable. this allocation is to be triggered by a binary trigger variable which toggles every 5 seconds.
However, the target variable's value is changing as soon as there is a change in the source variable, regardless of the trigger variable state. 
I understand that "If no variable is linked, the allocation is spontaneous. This means that whenever the value of the source variable changes, it is automatically written to the target variable". But why is this happenning even when the trigger variable is linked?

Thanks in advance.

Dear Anas,

the behaviour depends on the parameter trigger type. Here you can specify if the allocation shall be triggered on the rising edge of the trigger variable only or all the time while the trigger variable is true.

Solved it. Once I changed the Target Variable's driver to Local, the Allocation started to behave as it should.

Thanks Felix, the trigger type was right. The problem was with the variable driver.
