ERROR WARNING:

invalid input syntax for type time: <time field>

HOW TO RESOLVE:

This error is due to a date and/or time formatting issue. Use the template's second header row the view data type requirements and replace the erroneous data in flagged fields accordingly. Adjust cell formats or use find/replace to convert values to the correct type.

ADDED EXPLANATION:

Each field in the template requires a particular data type (text, integer, decimal, date-time, or true/false) or a controlled categorical response. Values that don't match these requirements will be rejected. In a spreadsheet, adjust cell formats or use find/replace to convert values—for example, changing numbers stored as text into actual numbers, converting decimals to integers, or trimming time-zone suffixes from date-time strings. For widespread issues in non-required fields, consider omitting the column entirely and re-uploading.
