Hi, I am looking to simulate a blood bank, and i want to get the satytime of the products that enter the model to decide if i have to throw them or if i can use them. So, I wanted to know how to put in processflow in a decide activity the staytime of an specific object.

Staytime stats usually refer to the time in a process flow activity or a 3D object. For your case, just record the creation/ entry time as a label on the token/item and then in the decide use
time()- token.entryTime
or
time()=token.item.entryTime
or push onto a list and add an expression for time()-pushTime for time it's been there.
Thank you, the thing is that i need to decide after the exact 7200 seconds if i want the tokens to go to a sink or if to push them to that list, because the model i want to create is based on perishble products, so if one them passes that specific time i will need to discard it, but if that does not happen i need it to go to another queue.
Something like this:
I need to decide if the object is still able to process or if it has to go to queue 2 just when its age hits 7200 seconds in the model
