After hard week , I have solve this issue by adding a timer for 3 second before " Wait for condition " 

I found this tip in SNOW doc : 

 

Note: A Wait for condition activity should only be used to wait for an external event such as a record update, and not one from a workflow setting a value. If you have a workflow setting a value and want to wait for that same field to be seen as 'changed,' try inserting a one-second timer. "
