Flow Designer Wait for a duration of time Action with Script

[Marco Stein]

Currently we're trying to give the flow designer a chance instead of using the classical way to create workflows. We're wondering why there's no substitute for the workflow timer scripting capabilities in the flow designers wait for duration action. Has anybody an idea how we can use scripting capabilities in combination with the wait for duration action in flow designer? Or is this an example were we have to use still the classic workflows?

Classic workflow Timer activity with option "Script":

Did you tried storing the calculated duration in a field and selecting from picker

@Marco Stein 

yes script based waiting is not there in Flow Designer

But till when do you wish to wait? possibly you can try to use Do Until Flow logic with some stop condition

We want to wait until next thursday starting from the closed date of an incident. Of course, for that we can implement a new field which contains that next thursday and use it in the flow designer. But we dont have to do this using the classic workflows and the timer activity there. Seems like the do until flow is not a feasible solution. Regards, Marco
