Date can not be found. Schedules can not be created without

Error message

Date can not be found. Schedules can not be created without a date there is a bug here

What it means

Schedules require a date condition; the update handler only overwrites the date value if a 'date' condition already exists. If it is missing (dateIndex === -1), the APIError declares this a bug, since schedules cannot legitimately exist without a date condition.

Solutions

1. Delete and recreate the schedule with a valid date condition.
2. Add a date condition to the schedule through the rules/conditions API before updating.
3. Check sync/import integrity if multiple schedules are missing conditions.

const sched = await actual.getSchedule(id);
if (!sched._conditions || !sched._conditions.some(c => c.field === 'date')) {
  throw new Error('Schedule is corrupt: no date condition; recreate it');
}

try {
  await actual.updateSchedule(id, { date: '2026-09-01' });
} catch (e) {
  if (String(e.message).includes('Date can not be found')) {
    // schedule is corrupt: delete and recreate
  } else throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Updating fields.date on a schedule whose _conditions array has no 'date' field — only possible when the schedule data is corrupt, hand-edited, or came from an abnormal import path.

Common situations: Restored or partially-synced budgets where conditions were lost; schedules modified directly via low-level rules APIs bypassing creation invariants.
