  Specify Execution Date:
  
  Look for the field labeled "Start Date" or "Date" in the job scheduling screen.
  Enter a valid date on which you want the job to be executed. This can be a specific date (e.g., 2023-10-15) or you can use the current date or a date in the future.
  
  
  
  Check Other Parameters: Ensure that all other required fields are filled out correctly, including the time of execution and any other scheduling parameters.
  
  
  Save the Job: After entering all the necessary information, save the job. The error should no longer appear if the date is correctly specified.
