Updating Date field to TODAY

[cnorris135]

I am trying to update a field (Date) to TODAY's date.  How do i accomplish this thru Power Automate.  I am using the Update Item with a field called "Audit Date" which again will be TODAY's date once the trigger condition is met.

@cnorris135 here is the expression for setting today's date : 

formatDateTime(utcNow(),'yyyy-MM-dd') /*gets formats UTC*/

@cnorris135 please Share your update item action screen and Audit column expression. Also check your SharePoint Audit column type.
