    @Kyprianou34  Use formateDateTime(utcnow(), 'MM.dd.yy') Pls mind uppercase in month.

    Note: In place of utcnow(), use your date value.

    My Flow looks like this screenshot 

    Kyprianou34_0-1672915487022.png

    Where should the compose option fit in?

     

    Also when I try to compose it looks different than your screenshot, output is not there

    @Kyprianou34  I shared output of compose. you are using it correctly. Pass your date in this compose. once you have date in compose use one more compose and pass this-

    formateDateTime(Outputs(Compose), 'MM.dd.yy').

    Text in bold is output from first compose. Pls select this from dynamic content.
