@engcom-Delta It looks like you are updating a Date field, it is the DateTime attribute that is causing the error for us. I haven't tested it on a fresh install of 2.4.3-p1, but we are getting this error on our live and staging sites running 2.4.3-p1.

I have just tested it in the Develop version and it is working as expected.

[feling07]

Hi Timpea, I checked all the data in eav_attribute and found the one using backend_type datetime and frontend_input datetime. After updating the frontend input to date the error is gone and it seems all working fine. I'm not sure if yours would be similar but in frontend there's no element for the type of datetime that's why it throws the error for me. Hope this helps.

[timpea]

@feling07 thank you, I was able to get around it by using the Date attribute, we didn't really need DateTime, it was only for a last_stock_checked field so we could record when we last checked the stock levels of each product.

[engcom-Delta]

Hi @timpea ,
Kindly try on fresh instance of 2.4.3-p1 and confirm.

Thanks
