### 

I am having a issue inserting a row to the weweb table, its coming up with two errors

the backend workflow error result is

```auto
{

name: ConfigurationError
message: failed to compute action configuration

}

```

configuration

```auto
{
name:FormulaError
message:formula evaluation error: code evaluationerror: cannot read properties of undefined( reading 'date' )
}

```

i have a form which has some show and hidden form field based on the selection.

i have been getting multiple error messages from this insert row action but this is the one that i decided its time to reach out for help.

here are some photos of the workflow

Hi @Aulbourn 👋

```auto
{
name:FormulaError
message:formula evaluation error: code evaluationerror: cannot read properties of undefined( reading 'date' )
}

```

This error message suggest the value of the date is undefined. Could you check the binding you have for this in your workflow? Can you show us what the `Current value` is?

I got this sorted out, i believe for this one i wasn’t creating the object correctly to send the information to xano. i was just send the text and not an object so i had to use the createObject to format it to the format that xano was expecting.
