Specifically, the error states that the 'From' date must be less than the 'To' date. This typically occurs in scenarios where date filters are applied, such as in reporting or data extraction processes.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Date Input: The user has entered a 'From' date that is equal to or later than the 'To' date.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been a typographical error when entering the dates.

  Correct the Dates: If you find that the dates are incorrect, modify them accordingly. For example, if the 'From' date is set to 2023-10-01 and the 'To' date is set to 2023-09-30, you need to adjust the 'To' date to be later than the 'From' date.
  Validate Dynamic Logic: If the dates are being set through a programmatic approach, check the logic to ensure that it correctly assigns the dates in the intended order.
  User Input Validation: If users are entering dates manually, consider implementing validation checks to prevent invalid date ranges from being submitted.
