Log.txt "defer your response" message

Hi there,
I haven't seen this one yet. I'm in the process of converting over to Ableton 11 and making sure Reactions work inside of Ableton 11.0.10
I set up a simple Reaction : When the mute status is changed on Track 4, then turn the metronome on.
Please refer to the attached photos for the error I received.
Have you seen this yet? Am I doing something wrong? This message is the bane of my existence when working with M4L.
Attaching photos of the message from the log.txt, the listener, and the action.
Thanks!!

Yes I've seen this, it's a blockage put in place at Ableton's end,
It's because you're trying do an Ableton UI - to - Ableton UI reaction. (when mute changes - turn metronome on)

You need something in between:
What might work is if you save to a modifier first,
Use 2 Reactions to do this...

Reaction 1:
Listener: when mute changes
Action: save a value to a Modifier (lets say m1)
Reaction 2:
Listener: when modifier m1 changes
Action: turn metronome on

Another way around it is to use a clip's 'playing status has changed' as the listener - clips don't seem to get caught by the 'defer your response' issue.
