The goal is to output a date value based on the current date.
IF “current date” < “3/25/22”
THEN output = “3/25/22”
ELSE output = “9/25/22”
I attempted to use a Python code step but I encountered an error. I’m not a coder and didn’t really know what I was doing so I gave up.
Thanks!

Hi
Have you tried using Filters?
Like the name suggests, date/time conditions work with dates and times Zapier finds in your trigger or action. For example, you could use a filter that will allow your Zap to run if a task due date is between a specific date and time range. Remember: Filter by Zapier allows you to use multiple filter conditions if you'd like.
You can use the following date/time conditions in a filter:
| Field type | Condition | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| (Date/time) | After | Checks if a date or time is after a specific date |
| (Date/time) | Before | Checks if a date or time is before a specific date |
| (Date/time) | Equals | Checks if two dates match |
The value you want to filter must be in a date/time format, such as 01/01/2021 or 8:00 p.m. If the value you want to filter is generic, such as Monday or September, use a text condition instead.

This can also be done with a Fomatter > Number > Spreadsheet style formula.
First go to this site: https://www.epochconverter.com/ to determine the epoch timestamp for the 3/26/2022. I did 3/26 at midnight so we could do < in our compare statement.
You will copy the Epoch Timestamp.
Then in Zapier (make sure your timezone is also set in your settings) use the formatter like so
FORMULA: IF({{zap_meta_timestamp}}< 1648267200,"3/25/22","6/25/22")
