Hi ,
Thanks for response. I think, yr snap if from workflow not cloud flow service.

In attached snap, could you please suggest which action/transformation I need to use to achieve my date conversion.

formatDate will do the same.

Hi,
Thanks for response.
I have input field as str type. So how I can convert into date type? Please suggest.
Then in next step I can use formatDate.

If your input is string, not date object you can use dateTimeFormat instead of formatDate.
