Xanadu docs talks about running a flow in foreground as one of the option
Link - Record Triggers | ServiceNow Developer
Docs link also talks about running flow in 'foreground'.
ServiceNow Knowledge article also talks about it - https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0819167
But I am not able to find that option in my instance. Any idea?

Hi @Suggy ,
Iam able to see the Run flow in foreground option
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Run flow in background (default) | Flow that runs asynchronously in the background. Use this option for flows that do not require immediate updates and to allow other system processes to run at the same time. |
| Run flow in foreground | Flow that runs synchronously in the current session. Use this option to provide immediate updates to an end user. For example, if a flow opens a task after the previous task closes, use this option to open the next task immediately after a user closes one.
Note: Running a flow in foreground may block the current session thread and prevent user input until the flow finishes. Avoid running flows in the foreground when they contain actions that cannot be interrupted, such as actions that run script. Actions or flow logic that pause a flow will not block a session.
