Hi team, then looking at the default datevariable its formated as DD-MM-YYYY. is it any way of changing this to YYYY-MM-DD? My location is Europe/Stockholm so its should be correct. When looking at the default “variable” format: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/4/c48e579f9cf7dd92b9745d0dab5bd5080dec6cd6.png) After setting that variable to my own variable: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/a/8/a803bfaabd85268fb5f647462e0ac91580553a18.png) I guess it should be possible to rewrite using logic app or something but would like to see if this is possible first. The thing is that I want to count how many days it has passed since a date back in 2022… ---
