Workflow/global parameters or variables of Date type

Hi All,

I have searched through the forum and asked K AI assistant too, but just want to confirm for sure that KNIME does not support workflow parameters/flow variables of Date type?

For actuarial work we need to have key dates fixed (eg valuation date, date of scheme commencement etc) which are then used throughout the workflow and it helps to have one key area to enter/manage them for each project.

1. The Variable Creator does not have Date Type in the drop down menu.

2. I tried to set the date parameters using Table Creator node (by specifying Date Type for the date columns) fed to Table Row to Variable node but the outputted flows variables for date parameters are converted to String Type.

Is there any workaround to have workflow variables as Date Types?

Many thanks
