Is it possible to set a Dynamics date field to the "execution time" via Flow like you can with workflow?

Hi,

I have several workflows I've created for a client where a date field gets populated with the "execution time" so that the field is updated with the actual date/time of the action. I've used workflow so far because I could find no way to do it with Flow. But I would like to convert these to Flow if possible. Is this possible? Here's a screenshot of the workflow value for reference:

Hello @phildrake198
Where is the date field that you update with the last execution time stored? (In a SharePoint list or?)
#Edit - and then I saw you mentioned Dynamics in the subject 😄 - no idea, unless you can somehow pass back the utcNow() date!
When a flow is triggered, you have an expression "utcNow()" that will give you the current datetime.
Kind regards, John

Hi @phildrake198,

Not sure how it works set dynamic content with workflow, but it is possible to set a Dynamics date field in Flow.

For example, you could add the UTC now into the Date field of a SharePoint list item, also, you could use the date and time functions to process the time, add or sub year, month, day, etc:
