Field Update

Hi All,

 

I am facing an issue with a time based workflow, below is the description:

 

There a picklist which should be updated with some value when my WF fires, however after setting time trigger for 5 hours, WF immediatly fires as soon as i create the new record. Ideally it should fire after 5 hours of record crestion.

 

The workflow calculates time on basis of current system time.
