error message string/date doesn't have the expected format

Posted on by 155

This flow was working fine with the date, but now is failing because of it. 

 

This is the full error message: The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/Whatdatewasthiscasestudycreated_' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '""' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'.

Here's my flow - I am noticing that the issue comes up on either the BDM Date field or the Date Created field. Whichever one I do not complete in the MS Form itself is the one that creates the error. For example if the form answer has a date created and not a bdm date, the BDM date is the error. If there is a BDM date in the form submission but not a date created, then the date created field is the error. 

 

Is it kicking back because I am leaving blank fields? Plenty of these fields are left blank and it processes fine. Why is the date something that cannot be left blank in the form? If I delete the dynamic content from those two fields, the Flow runs perfectly. I'd love to be able to pull dates into my list from MS Forms though. I must be missing something?
