    Hi Omar_Servin 

    Please check the points:

    1.If there is a relationship at the field, if it has the relationship of the field e,g one-many, and the field is the (many) field ,  it cannot extract the date.

    2.Please make sure the 'Auto date/time for new file' is open on desktop. if the option is not open, it cannot extract the date.

     

    Best Regards!

using %.[Date] is for datetime fields. I don't have a lot to go off of, but it looks like you are already coding [Created Date] as a date field and not a datetime field. It's certainly not a bug, but I have found that working with Created Date in Dataverse is somewhat more tricky and sometimes I have to make a calculated column that extracts the date from the Created Date column.
