Why can't I change wakeupTime variable on my MacBook Air?

acypher ~ What is this Set action you're using?...

...It's not the standard Set variable action I'm using to get the correctly adjusted date:

In your shortcut, please right-click that Set action > choose Show Info and tell me (or screenshot) what it says.

acypher ~ Although Shortcuts appear to be programs, they handle parameters differently. See the section "Reveal the action that generated a variable" here:

Adjust variables in Shortcuts on iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

...Follow the instructions there to reveal where your last action (Show alert) is getting its wakeupTime parameter.

I suspect you didn't Clear the wakeupTime parameter from your last action and re-input it — so it's still getting its value from the original Set variable action, instead of the default previous action.
