</div>

Is there a way to insert the update period in the Custom HTML Block?

Same as in the example below:

@lucasbtsuchiya,

Hello!

Currently, you can do this within your block using HTML/CSS/JS.

Every time the block refreshes, you append your own time to the UI every time the [queryChange](https://docs.losant.com/dashboards/custom-html/) changes.

However, I can make that feature request for you.

It’s ok.  
It would look something like this:  
var update = DashboardBlock.input.queries.testingupdate.time;  
document.getElementById (“update”). innerHTML = update;

 Updated 

 
Does the ".time" of the query return the last updated value of the query?
