Use date when action is executed is not returning the current time (hours minutes seconds)

You can create a single line of text variable in your workflow and set it with a "Set variable" action like the following :

The "Current Date" and "Current Time" are in the "Common" tab of the "Insert reference" screen.

Then you can use this variable to set a datetime column like this :

Hope this helps

Thank you Caroline, that Works!

Awesome work around.

I think it is better to use the calculate date action with the "include time" checkbox checked and then use that variable to update your date/time field. This allows you can do calculations based on that field. I haven't tested the original solution yet but I am worried that combining the date and time together like that wouldn't allow you to do calculations based on it.

@ignasitt ....Are you sure that you did check both check boxes?
