#3026 [Core feature] Add type transformer for datetime.date Issue created by dennisobrien Motivation: Why do you think this is important? Flyte currently does not support the

datetime.date

object for passing to or from tasks.

ValueError: Type <class 'datetime.date'> not supported currently in Flytekit. Please register a new transformer

In

flytekit/core/type_engine.py

there are transformers for

datetime.datetime

and

datetime.timedelta

, but not for

datetime.date

. Goal: What should the final outcome look like, ideally? Flyte tasks should be able to accept and return

datetime.date

objects. Describe alternatives you've considered The workaround is to use a

datetime.datetime

or to use a string of the form "YYYY-MM-DD". Propose: Link/Inline OR Additional context No response Are you sure this issue hasn't been raised already? ☑︎ Yes Have you read the Code of Conduct? ☑︎ Yes flyteorg/flyte
