Unable to Compare Date Field with Today’s Date in subflow

Hi Team,

I am working on a condition in Flow Designer / Workflow Studio where I need to compare an Employment Start Date field with today’s date.

Example condition:

Employment Start Date before Today

I tried using Data Pills as well but could not find a proper option for current date/time in this context.

Could someone please suggest the best way to achieve this comparison in Flow Designer/Subflow conditions?

Attached screenshot for reference.

Thanks in advance!

why not add that Before today condition in Lookup record step itself?

you can't add that in IF condition

Hi @vivek11 

Please create a single flow variable. After setting the flow variable, write a script today and use this variable for your condition.

To set the flow variable, use the following script:

return new GlideDate();
