Who is this article for?

Users who upload documents and use custom fields of the Date type.

No specific permissions are required.

This article explains issues caused by manual input and how to avoid them.

1. Issue

Document uploads may fail if a custom field of the Date type contains invalid input. This typically happens when the date is typed manually instead of being selected from the calendar picker.

Manual inputs can cause:

• Incorrect date formats
• Extra characters or spaces
• Non-date text

These inputs can trigger validation errors or prevent the document from being saved.

2. Solution

To resolve the issue, always use the calendar picker provided next to the date field.

To use the picker:

1. Click the Calendar icon.
2. Select the date from the interface.
3. Continue the upload process.

If you typed the date and encountered an error, clear the field and reselect the date using the calendar.
