I need to test a scheduling and subscription system and was wondering if there was a way to force bubble to consider a different date as the current date. ---

3 options which I can think of. - Reference a date in the database - Have a date picker - Replace the current date in the workflow with a specific date ---

When you have the current date time dynamic expression setup click on it to get the ‘more’ text button and when you click that it will open the list of operators available to manipulate dates…you can do simple changes like +days or +months to change the current date and time to a different date. > **Learn More** > > Boston85719 is an expert Bubbler with a decade experience as an educator.
