changing in syncToRedmine and add strftime like this spent_on=date.date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"),

Fixed this error

I never experimented any errors like that one :confused:

Could you give me the Redmine version you're using ?

Thanks

I wonder if it is anything with the default date format in the locale settings of the operating system, that makes it occur only for us who has something different than MM/DD/YY ?

thx @jhagberg , that worked OK. I've experienced this on debian with czech locale connecting to redmine 2.6.0.stable with czech lang used systemwide if that makes any difference

spent_on=date.date.strftime("%Y-%m-%d"),

Alternatively date.date.date().
