SharePoint 365 SPD Workflow Dictionary default date format issue
Hi All, I'm building a SharePoint Designer workflow which uses the Call HTTP Web Service action. I have a list that contains an optional date/time field called 'Deadline'. I've added this fi...
Ok, not Ideal but...
If Current Item: Deadline is less than or equal to 01/01/2001 00:00:00
Build {...} Dictionary(Output to Variable: Update_Parameters)
** but don't include the Deadline field as a parameter **
Else
Build {...} Dictionary(Output to Variable: Update_Parameters)
** but do include the Deadline field as a parameter **
Hope this helps someone.
It's great that you can copy/paste the Build Dictionary actions within SPD.
It's a shame they empty their contents as thay are copied.
By the way...
I'm doing this as moving Document Sets with the REST api (...folder/MoveTo(newUrl))turns them into regular folders.
i.e. they lose their Content Type Id in transit.
Once, I've moved them, I update them with correct Content Type and the properties of the original.
Which reverts them back to the Documents Set I expect.
Cheers,

Tony Hignett I've come across this too. Could have sworn it was working before without requiring the workaround.
As I had multiple date\time fields, I chose to remove all of them from the main dictionary. Then I created a dictionary per date\time field and ran the REST call inside each IF statement. Too bad there is no way to dynamically add fields to a Dictionary
Since the Dictionary object is additive, you only need to put a build statement inside each of the if conditional statements that check whether there is a valid date value, and then run the Rest statement at the end.
ex.
Set tempBool to No
if Current Item: date1 is greater than > Variable: emptyDate
Build {<add date1>} Dictionary (Output to Variable: dicRequestContentCreateItem)
set Variable: tempBool to Yes
if Current Item: date2 is greater than > Variable: emptyDate
Build {<add date2>} Dictionary (Output to Variable: dicRequestContentCreateItem)
set Variable: tempBool to Yes
if Variable: tempBool equals Yes
Call Variable: rstUrl HTTP web service with Variable: dicRequestContentCreateItem(Response Content ...
