Date as a String #28

Closed jfaigan closed 10 months ago

jfaigan commented 10 months ago

Hello,

I am trying to pass a date value as a String. The metric is configured thusly: image

I am receiving the following error: image

I understand that the value is a valid date, however, I want this value to be passed as a string to the downstream device.

This error is generated when using the MQTT Sparkplug Out node for a DCMD.

Is there anything I can do to avoid this? Is there any escape characters that I can use to force the value through as a string?

Thanks in advance.

That definitely sounds like a bug. Would it be possible for you to create a small flow that shows the issue and attach to this issue.

Hi Thomas,

My apologies. After trying to set up the sample flow I realized that it is just the data presenting itself in the debug as a string when if fact the source data is indeed a date. I changed my source data to be a string and I am no longer having the issue.

Thank you for reaching out.
