When the system time is changed then the start time and end time will also change so that the relative period will stay the same for a topology node.
It is possible to force the initial start time and end time to match a certain time step. This can be done by using the options initialStartTimeCardinalTimeStep and initialEndTimeCardinalTimeStep.
To force user edits to the start and/or end time to a certain time step the options cardinalTimeStepStartTime and cardinalTimeStepEndTime can be used.
If the option initialStartTimeCardinalTimeStep is used then the start time will not change when the system changes. The same applies for the end time and the option initialEndTimeCardinalTimeStep.
A configuration example is shown below.
