Hello Developer community, I am trying to use a Compare Timestamps bloc in a workflow to make a comparison between the current date (-1 day) and a startdate (coming from an identity attribute) Do you know how I can manage the variable $.now() (wich seems to return the current date on ISO 8601 form…

Given the outcome you are trying to achieve, you can use the following comparison. If startDate is on or before today + 1 then do actions startDate today (2023-07-03) + 1 is on or before? 2023-07-01 2023-07-04 yes 2023-07-02 2023-07-04 yes 2023-07-03 2023-07-04 yes 2023-07-04 2023-07…

In Compare Timestamps operator, both the dates have to be in ISO8601 format for getting accurate results.

Hi Colin, thanks you very much for your answer, I will update my workflow and test that :heart_eyes: I admit that I am a little affraid to use the Define Variable Block because I have seen “Beta” on it :rofl: :rofl: I will inform you about the test result :wink:

Jean-Roland, The beta tag is mainly because it is not where we want it to be for a goal UI/UX experience. The functionality works and was tested thoroughly. Some caveats apply such as chaining operations where you have date or number formatted values then want to chain a string manipulation. Those …

Hi Thomas, Thank you for the explanation, I better understand the meaning of “beta” tags for Sailpoint components :wink: Thank you @colin_mckibben for the proposed solution, it is responding perfectly to what we have wanted to do :grin:
