There is a bug on utcNow function

Hi,

 

I use the below formula (utcNow('yyyy-mm-dd')) to send myself an email, and turned out today is 2023-41-16  😂

 

Today is Jan 16, and the month is showing 41 ....no wonder why my formula for judging if the date is today is not working...

    Hi @rayer,

     

    mm is the format for Minutes. Please use the uppercase format MM for months.

    When formatting dates it needs to be 'yyyy-MM-dd'. Lowercase mm pulls in the minutes. Uppercase MM pulls in the hours.
