kdb+/q Developer Level 2 Capstone: Exercise 2.1 date casting error

[devdatta.kasture]

Hello all,

I am encountering an error on the level 2 fundamentals capstone with exercise 2.1 regarding the data casting of the expiry column to a date. In the console, I see that the change has persisted and am returning this column properly as a date, but this not passing the required test case.

I have attached outputs below. If needed, I can also provide my code. I have noticed that many others have also had a similar problem, but those solutions cannot seem to resolve my specific error.
