Hi @emiled
You can do the following:
addDays(utcNow(), (30*6) ,'yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ'))
I know that 30*6 is not 6 months, but there are no addMonths functions

Can you please check if and let me know if you have any questions?

Hi @emiled
The issue is with the variable variables('Profile_x0020_Created').
You need, at the beginning of your Power Automate, to have a new variable created. You can create with a simple name like "Profile_Created" and using it like variables('Profile_Created')
The error message is indicating that you're using a variable without initializing it first.
Can you please check if and let me know if you have any questions?

Hi @manuelstgomes and thank you for your answer.
I am unfortunately not really grasping how to incorporate the date conversion into my flow could you please give an example how that would look for my situation?
I am experiencing issue when trying to handle dates to update my list from a new list (export from another system) as well.
I have tried to get around this by creating the master in SharePoint list instead but that does not work either.
I really apprecciate the help!
thank you.
see this for example for my update flow
I was trying to reference my input date and convert it at the same time in this flow but that did not work.
This is the formula I tried to no avail:
