Karolina,

For the schema of interest do:

gam info schema <NameOfSchema>

Then the command you are trying and the error message.

[Ross Scroggs]

Karolina,

You have to specify the schema and the field; the date must be formatted as yyyy-mm-dd

gam update user x...@pwr.edu.pl Termin_wanoci.Data "2022-02-02"

gam update user x...@pwr.edu.pl schema Termin_wanoci.Data "2022-02-02"

You may have to tweak the date value.

Hi,

below the command is correct 

gam update user x...@pwr.edu.pl Termin_wanoci.Data "2022-02-02" 

I have last question. Can I use a .csv file to update custom attributes? 

Thanks again!

Karolina

[Karolina Janowska]

ok, I check it. I can ;) 

Thanks everyone!

Yes, you can use a csv file to update custom schema values.

I would create a csv file with two columns, column 1 the email address (email), and column 2 the value (date).  Then it is a simple matter to use gam's substitution processing to perform the updates.

Example csv file input.csv

email,date

alp...@my.domain.com,2022-01-01

...

Command:

gam csv ./input.csv update user ~email Termin_wanoci.Data  "~date"
