The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/OData__x0041_TT3' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '"26/05/2023"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'.

Hello , I hope someone could guide me in order to fix this issue.

 

I'm getting the start date from a Get Calendar View Event

 

    "start": "2023-05-26T13:00:00.0000000",
 
Also, Initialized a variable (DateWithoutFormat) type  string  to extract and save the date.

 The expression value to extract  the day,month and year is the following:
 
formatDateTime(substring(items('Apply_to_each')['startWithTimeZone'],0,10),'dd-MM-yyyy')
 
Then I use  2 compose actions  with the following expression:
 
1. Action: DateWithoutFormat2 Value: The value is the variable DateWithoutFormat
2. Action: DateWithFormat  Value: formatDateTime(parseDateTime(outputs('DateWithoutFormat2'),'en-US'),'dd/MM/yyyy'
So that solve the ISO issue
 
Then in the "Create Item" Action, I've a field named "Date_MT", wich is a date field and the value is the Output from the compose DateWithFormat.
 
but when I´m creating an item into my Sharepoint list this error message appears:
 
"The 'inputs.parameters' of workflow operation 'Create_item' of type 'OpenApiConnection' is not valid. Error details: Input parameter 'item/OData__x0041_TT3' is required to be of type 'String/date'. The runtime value '"26/05/2023"' to be converted doesn't have the expected format 'String/date'."
 
I already checked the Date Field on my SharePoint list , but I don´t know what I´m missing .
 
If someone could help me I appreciate it.

    Hi @Sbassmed ,

     

    Just compose date like this and add its output into your date time field:

     

    formatDateTime(item()?['start'],'yyyy-MM-dd')

    Intended action:  Create new SharePoint List item when previous list item is marked completed, plus 'number' of days for next due date.  That works as expected, the issue is I format the due date in line with the desired result and still receive the error.

    I have added the following expression and I am still receiving the error.

    formatDatetime(outputs('ComposeDueDate'),'yyyy-MM-dd')

     

    The output from the above expression is 2023-07-28

    The input received in the following action is the exact same.

     

    Appreciate any asistance!
