I’m using Javascript axios to add a new row into my Glide table and everything gets added properly besides the date/time cell. The date/time cell is **Date & Time** type.

I have tried all of these values for the date/time cell and none have worked:

- `new Date()`
- `"8/30/2022 10:31:00"`
- `"2022-08-31 03:22"`
- `"2022/01/09 12:04:43"`
- `"2022-08-31"`
- `"8/31/2022 8:13am"`

I’m curious to know what value it places inside of that cell if you change your column type to `text`.

Found what the issue was. The column title for that date/time cell originally was **Response Date** but later I changed it to **New Lead Date**. When I made my POST request to add the new row, I tried adding the date to the column with the name **New Lead Date** instead of **Response Date**. Not sure why the column title didn’t change for the API.
