Hello all,
I am building a workflow where I need to add/remove x-number of days to either the beginning or end of current, previous and next month. I have this part nailed down and working as expected. The date calculations are based on 3 initial values using these calculations:
CurrentMonth = (expecting May)
startOfMonth(utcNow())
PreviousMonth = Expecting April --> Actual is March
subtractFromTime(outputs('CurrentMonth'),1,'Month')
NextMonth = (expecting June)
startOfMonth(addToTime(utcNow(),1,'Month'))
This all worked as expected a few days ago, but now when I test on 1st May. The value for PreviousMonth is returning March 31st. My best guess is that by subtracting 1 Month, it is actually subtracting 31 days?
I could work around this by subtracting 4-weeks rather than 1-month but I'd like to know if I am missing anything here or if someone has seen a similar issue?
Thanks,
Scott

Hi @scottgm ,
Thanks for feedback.
The issue could be reproduced by me. I will help report it.
Further, I found that you could get the previous month without returning to the start of the month, please try with the following code:
startofmonth(getPastTime(1,'month'))
startofmonth(subtractFromTime(utcNow(),1,'month'))
Please take a try with above function.
Best regards,
Mabel
