Solutions

1. Use the 'current time' value mode only on date-type fields.
2. Change the field to date type or choose a fixed value mode.

Example fix

Edit the template field: set the column type to Date, or replace the current-time mode with a static value.

When it happens

Trigger: A new-item template sets a 'current time' value on a field whose column type is not date.

Common situations: Occurs when a template field configured with current-time mode has a stored value that cannot be parsed as a date.
