Ram,

When the condition is true and you are populating the date field, make sure the return type is formula. let me know if I can help you further.

Hi Ram,

Issue is with formula which you have created to populate the field value, make sure that your formula returns the correct data type which field aceept. I mean if the field is of text type and you are populating the value in that field dynamically from formula then return type should also be text.
In your case, it looks like you are returning Object while expected is text.
Formula result is data type (Object), incompatible with expected data type (Text)

Mark solved if it does help you.
