Error Updating Task custom field date_value

Sorry I gave you the wrong syntax; here’s the right one:

Read/Write Date custom field

Wanted to share since I hadn’t seen this anywhere yet. For the new Date custom field type, when reading a date value via the API you receive “date_value”: { “date”: “2022-08-18”, “date_time”: null } For a date. If the value was a datetime, then you would have “date”:null and “date_time” would have an appropriate value. When updating a custom field in a task, instead of simply specifying the value for the field as “2022-08-18” like you might for a text field, you have to pass an object with…

So to update a date custom field, the call would look something like:
“custom_fields”: {
“4578152156”: {“date”:“2022-08-18”}
},
