How do I keep the waiting period in a subflow, flow, and workflow?

[jays34229660407]

Hello everyone,

I’m currently testing a workflow and subflow, but both include waiting conditions.

Could you please advise whether there’s a way to manage this waiting time through a script or another workaround so I can do my test without wait for waiting time ? 

I checked few articles but did not helped 

Thanks

Hi @jays34229660407 ,

why do you have manage waiting time through script?, if you need to update - update directly there

if you would like to test update to 1 to 2 minutes and test once done update back to original wait time.

Unfortunately, for a Date-based Timer in ServiceNow Flow Designer, you generally can't directly "skip" the timer with a script while the flow is paused. The timer creates a scheduled/waiting execution that resumes when the specified date/time is reached.

For testing, folloeing is more practical solution.:

if (gs.getProperty('my.flow.test_mode') == 'true') {
var testDate = new GlideDateTime();
testDate.addSeconds(30);
return testDate;
}

return current.due_date;

why not add small wait time for your testing?

Hello @jays34229660407 ,

You can simply reduce wait duration while testing . once testing is done you can revert it back to original wait duration .

If this helps you then mark it as helpful and accept as solution.
