Dynamics CRM Workflow Update Field with Month of Current Date

Question

Trying to find a way using a Dynamics CRM 2013 Online Workflow to update a record and store the current month (or better yet the month number) in a field. Is this possible?

For example, I'd like the workflow to update a record and change a "month" field to "January" or even better the number 1 (as a number).

Anyone know how to do this?

Thanks!

You can use a Custom Workflow Activity like this one:

or you can create a new one by yourself, more information here:
