I am trying to create a delay with a dynamic value, i created an integer flow variable but when i try to use it in the "wait for field" data pill picker it does not support it

What can i create to use it as a dynamic value there?

if you are using "Explicit Duration" then that's not possible

you should set "Relative Duration" and use 1 seconds after that Flow Variable -> Date/time value

You should store some date/time in future in that flow variable using "Set Flow Variables" flow logic

I made this work, but i needed to create a custom action, and then set a "Duration" type variable as an output, then use that as a variable in the Wait for duration of time action using the "Explicit Duration" option
If you use flow variables, that "Duration" variable type option is not available
