Conditions. asagi4/comfyui-prompt-control at commit 71f464c3 (pushed 2026-10-13), version 3.0.0-beta.10, GPL-3.0, requires Python >= 3.10. Method. Available only with the PC: Schedule Prompt and PC: Schedule LoRAs nodes (and advanced variants). Syntax [before:after:X] switches at fraction X of the timesteps (0.0-1.0); nesting is allowed; [cat:0.5] means empty then cat; range form [before:during:after:0.3,0.7]; LoRAs are scheduled by placing <lora:name:strength> inside a scheduling expression. Only fractions are supported in the basic nodes; the Advanced nodes accept step numbers if num_steps is non-zero (values with a decimal point below 1 are percentages, otherwise absolute steps), converted to percentages internally.

Whitespace is stripped (use NOSTRIP() to keep it); a pre-release version (beta) may change behaviour. Limitations. Documentation page only; interactions with other conditioning nodes untested. Version and date. Commit 71f464c3. Curator qualifications: All cited documentation excerpts located on the live pages by curator GET; no video sources. Limitations: Syntax read from docs; not executed. Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
