Resolution ideas when date field is null, 'ConvertTimeZone' failed and the 'baseTime' value is null

(1) ShareShare

Posted on by SI-18091134-0 4
Hello all
 

I have a date field, 'If Temporary add End Date'.

I have added a "Convert time zone" Action to the flow to ensure the correct date format.

If the user leaves the field blank I get an 'Failed' flow.

Error Detail: Evaluation of inputs for the expression action of kind 'ConvertTimeZone' failed: 'Required property 'baseTime' expects a value but got null. Path ''.'.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I can not make the SharePoint source field 'required', because it does not always apply as the date is only needed if temporary.

Any resolution ideas to prevent a Failed flow when date field is null?
