NewStartDate

I'm trying to change an employee's hire date via HDL using the following fields:

METADATA|WorkRelationship|PersonNumber|NewStartDate|PersonId(SourceSystemId)|LegalEmployerName|SourceSystemId|SourceSystemOwner


However, I'm getting the error: Error. To check the error details, run the HCM Data Loader Error Analysis Report diagnostic test. Message details: Please enter 8 numeric digits.

Does anyone know how to resolve this? Or if I need to upload a different load layout?

Howdy, Stranger!
