Date Format Error (Condition requirement, greater than/less than/equals to)

[Unity]

Hi all,

I used to have a reoccurring workflow that would (through a condition) compare dates on my SharePoint list against the current date. It was a tracker that would compare the license expiry dates of users against the current date, and if the date was equal to or less than my current date and action would be triggered.

I noticed recently that my workflow hasn't been working anymore and was wondering if there have been recent changes in the Microsoft environment or if there's anything I can do to fix this?

The error I'm getting is:

Unable to process template language expressions for action 'Condition' at line '1' and column '2865': 'The template language function 'lessOrEquals' expects two parameter of matching types. The function was invoked with values of type 'Null' and 'String' that do not match.'.


I'm using this expression for the date/condition:  formatDateTime(utcnow(), 'yyyy-MM-dd')

Hi! It sounds as if 'End date' did not have assigned value in your sharepoint item.
If so, I would suggest to use a coalesce() based expression to assign a date default value in such case
Hope it helps

Hi @Unity ,

It seems that the End Date is empty, so the second condition is not met and display the error.

Please try to change the order of the first two conditions and see if the issue still exists.
