Paul, it looks like you found your solution.
Here's the Jinja info for anyone looking to take that approach.

- BrittanyScheid3 years agoQrew CadetI have been trying to use this for entering in today's date (EST) into date fields several times now in different pipelines, and I keep getting the below error. I made sure to copy and paste the formulas directly from the cheat sheet, but no luck. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks for posting this. It appears the behavior in Step A with regards to dates has changed. I previously used and tested the code that you are using and now I too am getting the validation error.
I have not yet found a proper workaround. It looks as though the Pipeline wants a format similar to "2022-04-18T00:00:00+00:00" even if it is just a Date field.
I will post an update when/if I'm able to resolve this with Jinja.
In the meantime I would suggest using an Advanced Query instead as it is simple to use 'today' in the query such as:{7.EX.'1'}AND{8.EX.'today'}
Where 7 would be replaced with the field ID for your Proposal Log - Deposit Required field and 8 would be replaced with the field ID for Fiscal Year End.
Please note you will need to delete all of the Queries you have Step A now, in order to access the Advanced Query (just above the existing Queries).

------------------------------- BrittanyScheid3 years agoQrew CadetThanks for the reply. I did find that Advanced Query workaround through another post and have been using that for now. I too was confused because I was sure I had it working in a pipeline previously as well, but over the last couple weeks/month, I haven't been able to get it to work. Please let me know if you find a solution. Thanks!
