Hi,

I have a text field called LastRun in a SharePoint list which I need to update it with the value of utcNow() in the format of yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss:00Z

in my logic apps workflow I have a variable which is set to utcNow() and it returns date/time in the exact format that I want:

but when I update the item the value changes to the yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss format:

I'm not sure what I'm missing here!

Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi @iamSara-3391 ,

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform. Thank you for the question.

    You can use the formatDateTime function to keep the expected format and it should work. I used the below expression to check the format. 

    formatDateTime(variables('date'),'yyyy-MM-ddThh:mm:ss:00Z')

    Hope this helped you,
