Create task not setting start date, due date, or reminder date?

Posted on by SheriClark

I am new to using flow. I am trying to create a task when a date is entered into a column of a sharepoint list item. The test is successful and the date shows up in the test run information. However, the task does not have any date set. I have tried the due date, start date, and reminder date. I am only using the dynamic content option and choosing the field I am entering the date in. I would like the due date to be the same date that is entered into the sharepoint list item column. Any suggestions?

Insure that your date and time column(s) within your SharePoint list are formatted properly, and that they match the date and time operators you are utilizing within your Flow(s).

Hi @SheriClark ,

Could you share your Flow configuration?

If you are referring to To do task or Outlook tasks, this is an already confirmed issue.

We have reported this issue, please check this thread:

Screenshot of Flow config

The create event date works fine and sets the reminder as expected. The due date is set in the task as well, same date format as what shows in the create event. See SS of the flow output below.

Is there some reason that Task due date field needs a different date format than the start and end date field for creating an event?

Hi @SheriClark ,

The result of my test is consistent with the issue mentioned in the thread I provided.

No matter how I configure Due Date/Start Date/Reminder Date-Time, the expected time will not be displayed in Outlook task.

It seems that this problem is still being fixed and has not been updated.

Best Regards,
