How can I set KV store collection data for data type time, when using the REST API?

[danrb1978]

I am having trouble setting the value of a KV Store collection field of type time. Does anyone know the best way to do this through the REST API?

Some additional detail,

I have a KV Store collection, created through the REST API, which contains the following fields, with these types.

<s:key name="field.customerId">string</s:key>
<s:key name="field.notes">string</s:key>
<s:key name="field.expiration">time</s:key>

Next, I do a POST to my collection, with the following data:
{
"customerId":"123456",
"notes":"Expiration date should be 6/1/2016",
"expiration":"2016-06-01T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Last, I check the contents of the record:
{
"customerId": "123456",
"notes": "Expiration date should be 6/1/2016"
}

For some reason my expiration field won't persist data. I have taken a few guesses at the format required for my time field in the POST above, but have not had any success storing a value.

You need to use a valid BSON data type and 'time' is not valid. Have a look at these two and see if either work.

I believe you'll need to convert your date to epoch time as well.

eval epoch=strptime(expiration, "%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S.%3NZ")
