how would i make it so before my code proceeds further, it has to wait for 2 seconds, and only then goes to the next line?

What do you want to make a delay for?

What do you want to make a delay for?
basically i need to extract a value from an embed field, but the embed takes a while to load in, so i want to make it wait like 2 seconds for the embed to load in, and only then take the value from it (because the embed adds a new value, which i need)
right now if im not waiting its saying it cant find the field

If it's an asynchronous method that is loading the embed, you should resolve the promise properly and then continue with your code
Setting an artificial timer does not magically fix promise resolution because it can take longer to resolve, and you would not be able to know ahead of time

i mean it is, but this is my embed code;
if (interaction.customId === 'approve') {
if (interaction.member.roles.cache.hasAny(...allowedIDs)) {
const originalEmbed = interaction.message.embeds[0];
const approvedEmbed = new EmbedBuilder()
.setColor('#2ecc71') // Change the color to green
.setTitle('Award Request Approved') // Change the title
.setDescription('The award request has been approved.') // Change the description
.setFields(originalEmbed.fields) // Copy the fields from the original embed
.addFields(
{name: "Update approved by", value: `<@${interaction.member.id}>`},
)
like my code is asynchronous

What is async here? That looks rather synchronous

hold on ill send you my entire code so i'm not saying something that's not true lol
i-m talking about the approve if loop

What is async here? That looks rather synchronous
i mean yeah but like idk how i can resolve a promise in this case right here
if i put an await behind new that doesn't really fix it lol
