randomvalue

Helo, I'm trying to generate a random number between 0 and X
where X could be any number stored in a variable, but when I use Evaluate and the system variable RandomValue in something like this:
x=6
{RandomValue({X})}
or this:
{RandomValue(5+1)}
I always get the default behavior of 0 to 1000, is this a bug? Is there a workaround?
Thank you!

If you use incorrect or non-integer value in parameter this variable use default parameter (1000)

Thank you, what I was trying to do was:
{RandomValue({num})}+1
But wasn't working. This works:
({RandomValue({num})})+1

Use
"JS Evaluate" action for simple arithmetic operations.
This actions designed for this.

Also you can save the value into variable and use
"Increment Variable" action
