    Please show me some sample data from your collection using the collections viewer.  I believe your data is not in the correct format but I do not know what your data looks like or where it comes from.

    If you want to PATCH a blank value for each of these columns do not use "".  Instead use this code:

    TargetDate: Blank(), OwnerName: Blank()
