One way to replace the value in a field is to use the "override" statement:


d = myField.date("CCYY/MM/DD") #or whatever your format is
emit *
override emit d as myField

Hello,

In addition to the previous answer, I would like to suggest to use one of the accelerator nodes designed to solve this type of data type changes.
The accelerator is called "Change Column" and it allows to specify a new data type and a new name (optional) for a column.

I hope you find it useful.
