It doesn't exist…

I'm pretty sure they want a workaround instead…

Now there's only this block:

ask [] and wait

But sometimes if you want to have a time limit for each question it'd be useful if there'd be a block like this:

ask [] and wait for () secs

I know you could replace this block but it's quite expensive cause you need many scripts then.
Please tell me what you think about this!

define ask and wait for secs
say [question] for (2) secs

Don't blockspam.

when green flag clicked //example code
say [Question!] for (2) secs
ask [What's your favourite colour?] and wait for (5) secs::custom
say (join (answer::variables) [ is a cool colour.]) for (2) secs

define ask (question) and wait for (secs) secs
delete (all v) of [chars v]
say (question::custom)
reset timer
repeat until <<(timer) = (secs::custom)> or <(timer) > (secs::custom)>>
if <key [a v] pressed?> then
add [a] to [chars v]
end
if <key [b v] pressed?> then
add [b] to [chars v]
end
if <key [c v] pressed?> then
add [c] to [chars v]
end
...
end
set [answer v] to (chars::list)
say [Question done!] for (2) secs

when I start as a clone
broadcast [Timer v]
ask [What's your favorite color?] and wait
...:: grey

when I receive [Timer v]
wait (10) secs
delete this clone

As stated by the TheLogFather, having a clone ask and then deleting it will remove the prompt. So, something like this should work…

when I start as a clone
ask [What's your favorite color?] and wait
stop [other scripts in sprite v] // to stop the script below from deleting this clone on timeout
whatever to do in response to the (answer) given...:: grey
delete this clone // probably delete the clone once done
when I start as a clone
wait (10) secs
delete this clone // time's up!

when I start as a clone
ask [What's your favorite color?] and wait
stop [other scripts in sprite v] // to stop the script below from deleting this clone on timeout
whatever to do in response to the (answer) given...:: grey
delete this clone // probably delete the clone once done
when I start as a clone
wait (10) secs
stop [other scripts in sprite v] // this stops above script and removes the ask prompt
whatever to do when time is up... :: grey
delete this clone

set [question v] to [What's your favourite colour?]
set [timeout v] to ((timer)+(10)) // timeout in ten seconds from now
broadcast [start/stop asking v] // this shows question since timeout got set to >timer above
wait until <(timeout)<(timer)> // wait for timeout, or for answer
if <(timeout)=[0]> then // got an answer before timeout
whatever to do in response to (answer) given... :: grey
else
broadcast [start/stop asking v] // took too long, this makes ask prompt go away
whatever else to do when time is up... :: grey
end
when I receive [start/stop asking v] // re-sending broadcast removes ask prompt if still showing since last broadcast
if <(timeout)>(timer)> then // want to ask a (new) question
ask (question) and wait
set [timeout v] to [0] // tell above script that we got an answer before timeout
end
