Cannot cast class java.lang.String to class java.util.Date java.lang.ClassCastException: Cannot cast class java.lang.String to class java.util.Date

This error occurs when a Custom Date field with same field-definition id is configured as type="text" in the Candidate profile but type="date" in Candidate application.

1. Engage Partner or Professional Services to configure this Custom date field as type="text" in Candidate application also.
2. Make the filed reportable in Application and Candidate templates in Configure Reportable Custom Fields.
