STRING_FORMAT = "%a %b %d 00:00:00 CDT %Y"
item_api = factory.getItemApi()
property_api = factory.getPropertyValueApi()
now = datetime.datetime.now()
 
property_date_str = now.strftime(STRING_FORMAT)
property = property_api.get_property_value(property_value_id)
property.value = property_date_str
 
item_api.update_item_property_value(item_id, property_value=property)
