Setting date in data transform

i have 2 data objects, both objects have a “date of birth” property. Both properties have type “date only”.

When I use a Data Transform, to set 1 value = to the other, I get an error.

All the other properties seem fine. Its just date that’s being a problem.

The full error is

"

This record has 1 error(s) in 1 place(s) .

Source— Invalid expression or reference: For literal Date/Time/DateTime values, enclose the value in double quotes; for property references, prefix the expression with an equals sign

"

What could be wrong, what should I try?

On the source side, set it like this: =Drivers(1).DateOfBirth

Hello,

I am facing the exact same issue, and am trying to understand why Pega wants us to add this “=” sign before the property.

This is not mandatory for any other types.

Is there a specific reason why this has to be added ?

I don’t have an actual answer for you on the cause, but it used to be a phenomenon on lower Pega versions. You can raise a ticket with them for more details.
