Workflow Action Date Format
Hi all
I hope everyone is well.
I have a workflow running on sales orders.
The workflow has an action to pull a date value from the line item and put it in a date column on the line.
I get an error saying that I am trying to put an invalid value into the field.
If I change the type of field from Date to Free Text it works and looks like this:
I have tried using
TO_CHAR
TRUNC
TO_DATE
In the formula for the date in order to change the format which is being pulled from the item. But it always returns an error.
