Dateformat when changing datetime-variable to string-variable

[Rostimat]

I'm converting a variable type datetime to a string variable, but the date format changes during the transition: '2024-02-17' to '02/17/2024'. Is there any way to keep the first format? (I'm using it to compare/search for text in another string variable.
Anyone who knows?

Fir some reason it won’t let me paste a picture of the action i try, but here’s a copy of the text-version of thr rules and variables:
————-
Select Actions to Run (and Create and Manage Conditions and Local Variables)

Set dateTimeToCompare_date to current date and time(2024-02-18 10:27) plus - 1440 minutes

Set dateTimeToCompare to '%dateTimeToCompare_date%(02/17/2024 10:27)'

————-

Local Variables (Manage on Actions Page)

Name	Type	Value
Private Boolean	Boolean	true
%device %	Device	Triggered
dateTimeToCompare	String	02/17/2024 10:27
dateTimeToCompare_date DateTime		2024-02-17 10:27

There is an action option to format DateTime to String:

It has pretty much every option available.

There's more:

To get both date and time into a specific format, you'd have to do it once for each time and date, and concatenate the two strings.
