hi @Viktar !!

Welcome to our community 🤗

I believe this is the same case of:

> hi @longspearfish !! Welcome to our community! hugs This is a bug bug in the python client. Edit: Not really… this is because whatever you pass as the comparison argument, the client will infer the data type to pass it over to Weaviate. So when you pass a date using string, it will use valueText instead of valueDate. Hence the error code: cannot use \"valueText\" on type \"date\", use \"valueDate\" instead" [Here is the client code for this](https://github.com/weaviate/weaviate-python-client/blob/5482164c2732db8ea9ce66b1c4743a4c2140b8ac/weaviate/collections/filters.py#L191) So you need to pass a python date object. t…

you are passing a string object.

So the client is inferring from that value to build the query.

Can you try passing the date object directly?

Thanks!
