Issue Summary

Attempting to use format("MM/dd/yyyy") in a smart value to set a Date attribute results in an error indicating that the date is invalid.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create an automation rule to set a Date attribute in an object.
2. Configure the rule to use a smart value with format("MM/dd/yyyy"). For example:

{{now.format("MM/dd/yyyy")}}

Expected Results

The attribute is updated successfully with the formatted date.

Actual Results

In the audit log, different error messages might appear depending on the specific actions the automation is trying to perform. However, all of them indicate that the provided date format is invalid.

Workaround

To avoid this issue, use a different smart value format. For example:

jqlDate
format("dd/MMM/yyyy")
