Hi Community,

How can you update a collection property based on the current time? For example “Current Time” + (2 / 1440) where the 2 is two minutes after the button is pressed.

Hey there @Emeka

If you want to add 2 minutes, you can do this:

Current Time + 0.000694444444444

0.000694444444444 is equal to 2 minutes. Like this:

Alternatively, you can use 1 minute from now or 5 minutes from now from the preset options:
