MichaelMr the error is because you have typed the "Since" expression directly in the field which is incorrect. Click in the field and over in the dynamic content box click the Expression tab.

Hi Rob,

thank you. That solved the problem.

One additional question:
The flow works fine as long as the original "modified by" column is visible in the list. If I hide the "modifiedy by" colum the flow runs without error but nothing is entered in the new "ChangedBy" column.
How can I solve this?
