Why can't zap timers have after events?

Title says it all really, apart from the fact that zap timers can in fact have after events: create a new timer, while it is still a record timer, set an after event, then change it to a zap timer, set its other settings and Save. Now you have a zap timer with an after event, but the UI hides the fact from you (because all the UI does is hide the setting for a zap timer, it doesn't actually make it "nothing").

Hi Prl,

Zap timers are being progressively broken more and more with every change to the code. All the ill conceived hacks to this code should all be reversed.

Regards,
Ian.
