Just tried out the 3.0 beta (for Windows) and noticed that when importing from Excel files dates come in as strings. That is, "2018-06-28T00:00:00Z" shows up as "Thu Jun 28 00:00:00 CDT 2018" and is not treated as a date.

The built-in transformation tool (toDate) cannot parse this into a date format.

Is this a bug or will there be an update to later versions?

Thanks.

Hi Chris,
