Datetime column validation

GX Core Support

Hi, I have a column = created_date which has datetime in this format = ‘2/09/2026 11:49’. Now this column is type = object. How to validate this without converting to datetime type.

I found a legacy expectation = <expect_column_values_to_match_strftime_format>, can I still use it in v1.23.1 ?

If not, then is there any specific expectation in the current gallery ?

Hi @KK1259, ExpectColumnValuesToMatchStrftimeFormat is the correct Expectation for your use case. It’s fully supported, and ships with v1.23.1. I see that it’s missing from the Expectation Gallery, though - I’ll get that updated sometime in the next few weeks.
