We are pleased to announce that we have fixed issue BUG-000174431 where Power Automate was throwing an error code 1000 with the message "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string."

Power Automate is now resolved and should be available in production. This fix affects the following actions:

• Create a record in a feature layer
• Update a record in a feature layer

Even though the input field is text, the epoch entered should be without quotes, e.g., 1740433032729. Other text inputs are possible in the format of MM/DD/YYYY, etc. For specifications, please refer to the Add Features  and Feature Object. When the input date is not in the epoch time, it is recommended to use the "Convert date and time format" action.

Thank you for your patience and understanding
