Unable to process template language expressions in action 'Compose_3' inputs at line '0' and column '0': 'In function 'addDays', the value provided for date time string '17/02/2022' was not valid. The datetime string must match ISO 8601 format.'.

    Hi @Anonymous ,

     

    ISO8601 is yyyy-MM-dd, you used to have to split the string and repupose it, but recently a new expression parsedatetime arrived.  You can simply insert your date as follows: parsedatetime('17/02/2022','en-gb')

     

    I demo this in my most recent video on dates here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ybPWtu1i1j0&t=37s hope this helps.

     

    Please consider accepting my answer as a solution if it helps to solve your problem.

    Cheers
    Damien
