If you don't provide text then auto-casting will take place into Text type. Here in the expression, ** is the invalid part. You need to enclose it within double quotes. The correct expression is: Today() &amp; "**" &amp; LocalTime() + MakeTimeSpan(0,0,5,0). This will return you something like this:&nbsp;<BR /><BR /><span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="33097.png"><img src="https://community.blueprism.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/33191i0B6B6235A28AE9C7/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;px=999" role="button" title="33097.png" alt="33097.png" /></span><BR /><BR />Let me know if your query is resolved.<BR /><BR />------------------------------<BR />----------------------------------<BR />Hope it helps you and if it resolves you query please mark it as the best answer so that others having the same problem can track the answer easily<BR /><BR />Regards,<BR />Devneet Mohanty<BR />Intelligent Process Automation Consultant | Sr. Consultant - Automation Developer,<BR />Wonderbotz India Pvt.
