Issue/Introduction

When creating artifacts , we get this error: "Could not update: Could not write changes in Unit of work" . What does it mean and how can we resolve it?

Environment

Release:
Component: ACSAAS

Resolution

This error means that one of the payload fields has an inaccurate wrongly formatted unit. This refers to Date or Time fields. 

Do not confuse the Date format setting which is defined on the User's profile/settings or that's defined on the Workspace settings as the format that needs to be used. These are formats for display.

The input format to set a date field needs to be: "YYYY-MM-DD"
