Schema Validation Failed: 'DueDate'

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by emi 25

Hi friends! I received an "Action 'Create_a_task' failed" error on a flow. Here are the error details:

 

Schema validation has failed. Validation for field 'DueDate', on entity 'Task' has failed: DueDate cannot be earlier than the StartDate

 

It doesn't look like I have control over validation for Create a task, so I'm not sure how to resolve this issue. In the past when it has occurred, I've just worked around it. It would be wonderful if this error wouldn't crash my entire flow!

 

Thanks in advance for your advice!
