How to create a delay in record creation

[Mi4]

Hello,

I created a business rule to allow approvers to see the attachments added to the application in the portal.(Global)

Weirdly, however, we realized that we needed to enforce this business rule before an authorization record would occur.

System log:

My boss told me to use 'gs.sleep' as a way to make this delay.(Global)

Refer to:

<https://community.servicenow.com/community?id=community_question&sys_id=8cdc8329db9cdbc01dcaf3231f96...>

However, it doesn't work well.

Can you point out what is wrong?

Hi,

it does the same but since gs.sleep() is not allowed in scoped so that workaround is used

Hi,

Okay, I see.

This caused the business rules that were running when the timer was set to stop working..

I'd like to implement this delay like the timer in the capture above, but can I tell me where the delay is different or where I can point out?

BR is ...（Do I need to change after this settings?）

Hi,

what exactly you want to perform? why require a delay in copying the attachment?

Do you want to push the attachments from RITM to approval record so that approver user can see those attachments?

Hi,

sorry. I'm not sure why the delay is needed, but I've found that setting a timer before the approval record fires works.

Yes, I just want to push the attachment from RITM to the approval record and allow the approver user to view the attachment, so if this is possible I don't need to defer it.

Hi,

so as soon as approval record is inserted the copy code will copy the attachments immediately; ideally no requirement of sleep as well

But if it is working fine by adding some delay then it should be fine

Mark ✅ Correct if this solves your issue and also mark 👍 Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
