Automatic flow to update "Todays Date" column in SharePoint list

Posted on by Big_Blue_Bear

First time poster / Flow user, so please excuse me if this is a really basic question.

I've created a flow, to update the "Todays Date" column in my SharePoint list, which I thought I had automated to run @ 00:00 daily, but I'm still having to trigger it manually every day for it to update the required information. So the flow works, in so much that it updates the date in the SharePoint List, when manually triggered, its just not doing it automatically as expected

Any insight or assistance would be much appreciated

Can you take a screenshot of the sittings in the recurrence trigger?

Hi @Big_Blue_Bear,

Do you want to trigger the recurrence flow at 12:00 AM everyday?

Could you please try to re-set the recurrence as below:

You should select the Time zone and set the Start time as your need. For that I am located in UTC+8, so the flow will be triggered in 2022/08/17 16:00 in my location.

Can I get more detail or screen shots on the solution. I would like to have SharePoint List update with today's date regardless if I make any modifications to the list. I am attempting to count days from when an item is added to the report and today date.

Thank you.
