Workflow invalid date token from query

asked on June 14, 2019

I am trying to assign token values to a beginning and ending contract dates from a database query. I must be missing something because it keeps giving me the explicit token names when trying to assign a value to the tokens. I made sure to tag the tokens as date.

The values from the db seem to be valid but the workflow tries to assign this:

Any ideas? Is the "/" character reserved or something?

When creating dates, I have much better luck using the Date token calculator without doing any modifications. Just change the Date to Specific Date, then Time to None.

That worked, thank you!

The behavior you're seeing is because the / is used as an escape character for tokens, so it turns them into literals. They'll work the way you want if you use // instead.

I figured that's probably what was happening.
