    Hi @JasonJunio_3,

    please check if the date column in your SP list includes time.

    thank you @v-mingkz-msft, it seems  your solution is correct, but it seems that I'm getting an incorrect time. How can I solve this? I get 1:55 AM instead of 4:55 pm

    @JasonJunio_3 

    You can try this formula:

    formatDateTime(utcNow())

    Is the difference between times the same as your local time zone's difference to UTC?

    Why can't you just look at the default "Created" column for an item?

    The created column is automatic for every item and unable to be deleted.

    If you absolutely need the "Time" column to be filled with the "Created" date time, then just use the dynamic content Created in the update Time field.
