ScTask must be create only in a specific time window.

Hi All, I was working on a flow designer logic, and getting a problem in it.
My requirement is: users can raise their request at any time but sctask should only be create in a specific time window.

For Ex:- user raised a req on thursday, even after getting approval ScTask should create on  tuesday between (9am to 12pm).
To implement this, I've added a wait for condition in my flow just before first scTask:

var region = fd_data.trigger.request_item.variables.region;

var now = new GlideDateTime();

var day = now.getDayOfWeek();

var val = now.getValue(); // 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'

var hour = parseInt(val.substring(11, 13), 10);

var min = parseInt(val.substring(14, 16), 10);

function isTimeBetween(startHour, startMin, endHour, endMin){

    var nowMinutes = hour * 60 + min;

    var startMinutes = startHour * 60 + startMin;

    var endMinutes = endHour * 60 + endMin;

    gs.log('function is executed: nowMinutes: '+ nowMinutes +' startMinutes: '+startMinutes+ ' endMinutes: '+ endMinutes);

    if(startMinutes <= endMinutes){

        return nowMinutes >= startMinutes && nowMinutes <= endMinutes;

    }

    else

        return nowMinutes >= startMinutes || nowMinutes <= endMinutes;

}

if(day == 2){

    if(region == 'UK_VBLOCK' || region == 'UK_Nutanix' || region == 'US' || region == 'BR')

    {

        gs.log('flow is in if condition');

        answer =  isTimeBetween(1, 50, 2, 30);

    }

    else if(region == 'SGHP2_VBLOCK' || region == 'AP_SGHP2_VBLOCK' || region == 'SG_Nutanix_EQ' || region == 'JP' || region == 'HK' || region == 'AU')

    {

        answer = isTimeBetween(13, 0, 15, 0);

    }

}

answer = false;

But (wait for) action is not checking time in real time, it is only checking when there is a record update, which is making it a wrong approach. Please let me know if I can try something else here.

Thanks, It worked for me.

Just curious, what would be the reason for this requirement?
