Transform Query: Add X days to today, and convert to MM-dd-yyyy

Hi,
I need some help debugging an issue with the following transform:

{
    "name": "Test Date Transform Delete Later",
    "type": "static",
    "attributes": {
        "date": {
            "attributes": {
                "input": {
                    "attributes": {
                        "expression": "now+73d"
                    },
                    "type": "dateMath"
                },
                "inputFormat": "ISO8601",
                "outputFormat": "MM-dd-yyyy"
            },
            "type": "dateFormat"
        },
        "value": "$date"
    },
    "internal": false
}

I am trying to add X days (78 in this example) to today’s date, and convert to MM-dd-yyyy.
I keep getting a “error in calculating $date” error. Do you see an issue here?

Here’s a list of variations I tried:

  1. adding an input with an empty object
  2. adding an input with an empty string
  3. using roundUp flag with true as well as with false, and using “now+78d/d” as the expression.

None of the above worked, and I keep getting the error. If I were to just do a dateMath operation, I can see the value does show up, but it fails when I pass the output to the dateFormat operation.

The output format for the DateMath transform is “yyyy-MM-dd’T’HH:mm”. When you use this transform inside another transform (e.g., dateCompare), make sure to convert to ISO8601 first.

Try flipping your input and output format

This is how we have our transforms set up doing date compares:

“inputFormat”: “yyyy-MM-dd”,
“outputFormat”: “ISO8601”

Thanks @sharvari
I was assuming dateMath output was in ISO8601, but it outputs in the format as described here:

Updating the transform to use that format for the input worked as expected:

{
    "name": "Test Date Transform Delete Later",
    "type": "static",
    "attributes": {
        "date": {
            "attributes": {
                "input": {
                    "attributes": {
                        "expression": "now+73d"
                    },
                    "type": "dateMath"
                },
                "inputFormat": "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm",
                "outputFormat": "MM-dd-yyyy"
            },
            "type": "dateFormat"
        },
        "value": "$date"
    },
    "internal": false
}

Thank you!
