I am trying to save dates into the Database but when I select a date, my input box appears empty and it doesn’t save to the database.

For the workflow, I have selected “Set State”

set state is just for temporary saving, you need to use make change to “thing”

can you send screenshots of the element and datatypes

Thank you, I understand I need to use ‘create a new thing’
