Hi @Jitendriya Pardia ,

Select the source date-time variable as System: Date
Convert date time variable as a string "Here you can custom date formats" If required.

Capture

Thanks!

Hi @Jitendriya Pardia ,

Simply type in $ and that will trigger the Intellisense.

To get the System date, type in $System:Date$ and you are good to go.

SystemDateTime

But this is rarely of use, since we can't use inline operations to convert that DateTime to string, so the approach would be to use the DateTime: To String Action to first convert it to string, or if you simple want to use it in an If Condition, you don't have to assign it to a separate variable.

Kind Regards,

Hi @Jitendriya Pardia Under system variable you can find Date variable.

And under DateTime package you can use 'to string' command to convert system date time to required format.
