Today() function in column expression

[Karlygash]

Good Day Knimers

I am using currently column expression to compare two date formats. But seems like it is not working correctly.

Here is my expression:

if (getDate(column("Last modified date"))==today()) {
       "1"
    }
else {"0"}

Output of getDate(column(“Last modified date”)) is:

2021-11-04

AND

Output of today() is

2021-11-04.

As you can see I have same output, and the result if statement should give me 1, not 0.
But in my case it is giving zero.
What do you think, what is reason of having incorrect result?
I thought that it is because of formats, but as far as I know get Date and today should give us date format.

PS. I have only single row here
In addition, I added one more column expression with created column and it is working finely. But my purpose is not to have many nodes as possible)

Hi @Karlygash , try to use equals() instead

if (getDate(column("Last modified date")).equals(today())) {
       "1"
    }
else {"0"}
