Summary

The user is facing an issue with storing datetime types in Appwrite. When using the DateTime.now() method, it gives an error. The solution is to use the DateFormat library to format the date and time into an ISO string before storing it in Appwrite.

Hi, thank you for your question. Date.now() is unix timestamp - seconds/milliseconds since specific date.
What datetime attribute needs is ISO string of date.

Dart

var now = new DateTime.now();
var dateFormatted = DateFormat("yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss").format(now);

then you use dateFormatted as value for DateTime attribute in Appwrite, and it should work.
