posttrialpause error for surveypage

I am trying to use the posttrialpause attribute for a surveypage element as listed in the language reference. I was thinking of using it as an inter trial interval.

We need to use a surveypage as our trial contains a slider bar.

Indeed, if I look at the reference for posttrial pause linked on the above page it does not list it as a member of the surveypage element, however it is listed as a property of the surveypage element.

Is there any way to get this functionality? I am using Inquisit 5.0.7

The way to get something akin to a posttrialpause with surveypages would be to /branch to a page that implements the pause:

<surveypage mypage>
/ questions = [1=myquestion]
/ branch = [
    surveypage.ptp
]
</surveypage>

<dropdown myquestion>
/ options = ("a", "b", "c")
</dropdown>

<surveypage ptp>
/ showbackbutton = false
/ nextbuttonposition = (-20%,-20%)
/ timeout = 2000
/ showpagenumbers = false
/ recorddata = false
</surveypage>

<block myblock>
/ trials = [1-2=mypage]
</block>
