Hello,
I'm running a simple test where I check if "SBQQ__StartDate__c" is greater than or equal to "11/1/2023," but it's throwing an error at me. I've made sure that my date column is properly formatted, so I don't understand why this error is popping up. Any ideas?
Expression.Error: We cannot apply operator < to types Text and Date.
Details:
Operator=<
Left=11/1/2023
Right=11/1/2023
Thank you
