Set Date/Time | Leapwork Docs

The Set date/time building block is used to define a date/time value that can be delivered to other building blocks in a flow.

Fully expanded, the Set date/time block has the following properties:

Note: The screenshot on this page uses the Elegance Design, introduced in 2025.3. If you are using an earlier version, your layout may look different.

Quick-start

Drag Set date/time onto the canvas.
Specify the Date/time value, and expand the field if you want to set Date and Time components separately.
Use the resulting value by connecting it to the next block that needs a date/time input, then run the flow when it’s ready.

Building block parameters

Parameters

Block header: Shows the current title of the block. You can rename it by double-clicking the header text and typing a new title. This block has no green input or output connectors in the header because it is not explicitly executed. Instead, it is used to set a date/time value for other blocks.
Date/time: Defines the date/time value. You can specify the individual components (year, month, day, hour, minute, second, and millisecond) and then use either the full date/time value or only the date part or time part. Use the expander controls to work with the components separately.
Date: Available when you expand Date/time. Use it when you want to work with only the date portion of the value.
Time: Available when you expand Date/time. Use it when you want to work with only the time portion of the value.
