I am trying to recreate a flow that connects Inventory package creation to Zoho projects (where a task is created in a defined project). I've been able to troubleshoot everything EXCEPT the date fields; specifically the "start date" - which is quite important for our operations. 

I need the start date to simply be the date of trigger (therefore the system variable), but no matter how I do or don't format the time and date in the dropdown, this field returns an error when I test and debug (conversely, when I leave it blank, the test runs fine). 

I have noticed that the data layout is now "date and time" instead of the previous "string" format.

Can anyone please help? This is very frustrating and there is absolutely nothing in the zoho literature to help troubleshoot. This is another issue I have, Zoho's complete lack of assistance on what is supposed to be user friendly apps - particularly when they are forcing a change or update that we must do.
