Hi,

The context attribute that you have defined is of type string and not date. If you want to set Date to that field than change its type to data.

Change the type of the context attribute BirthDay to date

Hi Jia Jun Ng,

Please check type of context attribute Birthday. If it is of type String, you can change the code to

wdContext.currentContextElement().setBirthday(new Date(0)+"");

OR

change the type of value attribute to Date.

Hi Jia,

Try

wdContext.currentContextElement().setBirthday(new Date(System.currentTimeMillis())) instead of new Date(0)
