Set staytime in queue

Hello @Truc C
In your model you are using pull activity in the input session of Queue8, but your list (ItemList1) is completely empty.

@Truc C, a queue is not made for this. This is a job of a processor. Then you let your items stay in a queue until a next object is available to receive an item.
If you still want to go the hard way. You hold all items on entry of a queue. Then you send a message with a delay of 15 minutes, which contains a reference to the involved item. You release the item through an output port or you let evaluate Send to Port function by releaseitem with port number 0 by on message event.
As Jörg says staytime is an outcome/result not an input. Sometimes you want the equivalent of a rack dwell time on an object that is a bit more 'passive' for which you can do as Jörg suggests for a queue. My approach would be to return -1 from the send to port (to hold the item) and then release it through a specific port after the dwell time.
