With this you can test out different day on your not as you wish.

Sure, I setup all my variables on Date.Time.Now(dd/MM/yyyy) format and it’s working correct now. However, I have some conditions for example if Now will be 01.01.2021 it should react as 31.12.2020. Therefore, I want to assign sample dates to test how bot reacts. Please let me know if it s not clear

maybe i misunderstood it but this is more like changing the time format dd/MM to MM/dd. I need to change the system date from 13.11.2020 to 01.01.2021
