Hi @levino ,

Create a flow variable and set the value of this variable by creating a custom action and then you can use it in your condition.

Within custom action you can simply return gs.nowDateTime();

Hope this will resolve your issue. please mark the answer help/correct if it resolves your issue.

Thanks !

Hi Shashank

thanks for your response.

i have created the flow variable,  as a input variable, where do i set values  (return gs.nowDateTime)

also my variable on the catalog item is just of Date type, when i compare the 2 in the if condition would it cause a issue

I am new to flow designer, hence the first question

Thanks
