Hello,
I am setting a value of variable which is used in a timer expression. I am getting this error.

“Invalid duration format ‘2023-11-08T09:00:00.000+05:30’ for expression ’ waitPeriod’”

Whats wrong with the format above?
The timer is after an event gateway.

Please help.

Hi @Subhrajyoti_Moitra
The engine is trying to parse that as a duration format, but it’s a time date.
Did you use the type “Duration” for your timer? If you specify a concrete date time, you need to set the type to “Date”.

Ohh wow, thanks a lot. Yes you are right, only 8.3 supports the Date type. I am using 8.2. Upgrading and trying this out.

Thanks again for the quick response.
