Hello @N_Qahtani and welcome the community :partying_face:

Try the following:
system.DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyy-MM-dd”)

Also - check out this link to understand the differences between ‘M’ and ‘m’:

Hopefully this helps

Hi @N_Qahtani
Welcome to Uipath Community!

Actually, you are using the correct command that needs only small changes, when you use DateTime.Now its returns date + time
so you need only date , you have to made the expression of frunt as you need (yyyy-mm-dd)
and you can change any position of like (mm-yyyy-dd) will show you the year on middle

Correct code : system.DateTime.Now.ToString(“yyyy-MM-dd”)
Main.xaml (4.3 KB)
