    I am asking because it you just need to get the Current Month and Year its eary
     
    Year
     
    formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'yyyy')
     
     
    Month
     
    formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'MM')

     
    Add a Compose action as shown in the screenshot below, and include other variables returned from SharePoint, such as Project Name, Country, and File Name with Extension, which should be the output of the Get File Properties action.

    Do you want to get the Date and Year with reference to columns? Created or will current Date be OK?
