Hi,

I have a form field of Date type in a Start event and I give a default value

However when I run the process I get “invalid date value 2018-05-08T14:04:45” error.
What is wrong in my syntax?

Thanks!

Hi @kontrag,

You need to specify the datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss" attribute to your formField.
If you don’t provide the datePattern, the default pattern dd/MM/yyyy is taken into account and the engine is not able to parse the provide date, which results in “invalid date value 2018-05-08T14:04:45” error.

Hope it helps.

Best regards,
Yana

Hi @yana.vasileva,

Where do yo specify the pattern?
In validation contraints?
I tried Name=datePattern
Config=‘yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm:ss’

but it’s not correct when deploying.

Thanks,

Hi Kostas,

You need to add the attribute in the xml by edit it like this:

<camunda:formData>
  <camunda:formField id="orderDate" label="Date" type="date" datePattern="yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss" defaultValue="2018-05-08T12:12:45" />
</camunda:formData>

Best regards,
Yana
