Can someone explain what’s wrong with my expression? Do I have to enter the variable in another way?

may be related to the version you are using, can you answer the previous question, n8n version, database etc. also if possible can you post your workflow ?
Thank you @slenderwrist for your quick reply.
I´m running version 1.42.2 on docker on Ubuntu 22.04 with a PostgreSQL database. Not quite sure what is meant with EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting and where to change it.

Datum fields have space at the end thats why fromFormat returned invalidDatetime. i added trim() method and then it worked.
Oh, I can´t tell you how much you helped me. Thanks a lot for this. I think I would have never considered something like this. You made my day
