Error: The formula "Date" resulted in a integer but the field is a Date/Time

Hi everyone,

 

I have a formula that creates a date column in my workflow. This needs to be updated with a selected date via the Date interface tool on each run. 

 

The image won't upload, but I have the formula tool configured:

 

Output Column: Date

Formula: "2023-06-09"

Data Type: Date

 

And the Action tool:

 

Update Value (Default)

FormulaField - (at symbol)expression -value="2023-06-09"

Replace a Specific String is selected.

 

The way I have this set up works when I test it out with the interface on desktop designer but once I get it into Server it's giving me the error: The formula "Date" resulted in a integer but the field is a Date/Time. I've also tried changing the data type to Int64 and removing the quotations and it only returns the number 2008 in the Date field. 

 

I'm not really sure what I need to alter to get this to work properly within Server? I decided to crosspost this between Designer Desktop and Server boards since the problem lies with both.

 

Thank you

what you left selected in the action tool to be replaced has to be just the text 2023-06-09
