    @PW-14011855-0 To format a date—you'll need to use an expression and the formatDateTime() function. It's hard to offer any recommendations without seeing your full flow and the logic behind it. Toggle off the New Designer and click each action to expand it. Upload a screenshot of your flow in edit mode.
