Of course,
expression:
Date.parse($MODDATE,“yyyyMMdd hhmmss”).toLocaleDateTimeString({“format”:“yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss”})Validation errors:
property_map.settings.transformations.value.mappingTable.value[2].expression.value: Could not compile expression: Date.parse($MODDATE,“yyyyMMdd … (Reason: Invalid token: ‘“’ for expression: Date.parse($MODDATE,“yyyyMMdd …; Resolution: Please check expression syntax)
