Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hi! I am building a flow to place answers off a complex branching MS Form, into my list on my SharePoint. The settings in the list for all date fields is not mandatory so it should be able to accept someone not entering a date. The exact verbiage for my date question is "Date the complaint was referred". So in my Power Automate flow under the "Create Item" action. I have the expression:

if(equals(triggerOutputs()?['body/Datethecomplaintwasreferred'], null), null, triggerOutputs()?['body/Datethecomplaintwasreferred'])

This is located to the right of the Dynamic Content.

Another expression I have tried:

if(empty(triggerOutputs()?['body/Datethecomplaintwasreferred']), null, triggerOutputs()?['body/Datethecomplaintwasreferred'])

When I run a test, it always fails and provides me with the following error:

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

Your help is GREATLY appreciated! I have attached the snippet of my settings for that date field.
