Converting MS Forms date picker output to write to Sharepoint List with column type Date

[JamesFox]

Hi all,

I'm sure this is quite obvious but I just can't seem to crack it, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

As the subject might suggest, I'm trying to write a Flow that takes data from a Form and writes it to a Sharepoint list. 

What I am trying to do is use the formatDateTime function to take the data from the Date Picker on the form and use the output to update a Sharepoint list item that was created at the start of the flow using the Text fields from the form as they didn't need any additional processing. The target Sharepoint column type is Date & Time.

Here is a screenshot of the relevant part of the Flow. The Dynamic Content field in the Input of the Compose action is the relevant Form field: 

This fails with the following error message:

I'm perturbed by the fact that the Compose action seemingly has the same input and output:

As I say, I'm sure the solution is reasonably straightforward, so if anyone could advise I would be eternally grateful.

Many thanks,

James.

Hi @JamesFox ,

You don’t need to format the date from the submission, you could fill this date in the date field of the item directly.

Besides, we should edit expression in Expression editor, then apply it to the field. And the format should be MM/dd/yyyy.

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,
