Hi,
my take on this is to create a series of "advanced" actions where the user can select when to perform the action ( update, late updated of fixed update), this works for me and I am pushing every action I use on the ecosystem ( simply search for "advanced" )
This process is indeed a bit messy currently, I think Alex is trying to find ways to address it, maybe something will see the light, but I am not aware of any tangible work we can test on this.
Bye,
Jean
