    Hey @Kezz1234- 

     

    Actually this is because you are using small mm. Instead you should use capital MM.

     

    Small mm denote : minutes

    Capital MM denote : Month

     

    So, just replace small mm with capital MM in the above action.

     

    I hope this will help. 🙂

    Hi @Kezz1234- 

     

    If you want to format the current date as 3- March- 2023, you can try:

    formatDateTime(utcNow(),'d-MMM-yyyy')

     

    Best Regards,

    Levi
