Unable to Patch date field to an Azure SQL Database

[therealalex]

Hello fellow app builders.

I've been scratching my head with this one all day long. I have found some post online with similar error messagescoming back from SQL Server, but nothing that has helped my solve my problem.

I am creating a Canvas app that will collect some data for the user, and create a new row of data in a SQL table via the Patch function.

When I initiate the patch, I receive the following error message, "The requested operation is invalid. Server Response: MySQLTable failed. Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string clientRequestID xxxxx-x-xxxxx-x"

Here is my Patch code:

Patch(
  MySQLTable,
  Defaults(MySQLTable),
  {
    AccountGUID: WonOpportunity.parentaccountid.accountid,
    OpportunityGUID: WonOpportunity.opportunityid,
    OpportunityOwnerEmail: WonOpportunity.owninguser.emailaddress,
    ModifiedDate: Now()
  }
)

My Modified date is defined as follows in my table:

       [ModifiedDate] [datetime] NOT NULL,

I have tried to format my "Now()" datetime in every way imaginable to work around this error without any luck. I have refreshed, deleted, and reconnected my SQL connector.

I have other apps running that use a similar Patch function to write to a SQL table without any issue. I'm hoping there is something obvious that I'm just missing and can't see.

Thanks in advance for any advise!

Take a look in the Monitor Tool and see what *exactly* is being sent to the connector and see if there is a clue there.  That will give you the best answers.

I hope this is helpful for you.

Thanks, Randy! I didn't even know that tool existed... It provided the detail I needed to get to the bottom of this issue.
