Confused about System.now

At a glance

The community member is having an issue with timestamps in their database, where the timestamps are freezing after the first use of System.now. They tried to create a mini version of the timestamps, but it had the same problem. The community members in the comments explain that this is because blocks are executed at the same time, and the "Wait" block does not actually pause the flow as expected. They suggest enabling the "Pause the flow" option to address this issue.

No that's because blocks are executed at the same time here

You might think the Wait block pauses the flow exactly where it is triggered but that is not the case

BBaptiste

All the blocks between each input are always computed together

But you can enable the "Pause the flow" option (https://docs.typebot.io/editor/blocks/logic/wait#pause-the-flow)
