i think you are using a workflow developed with a newer version of the excel package, while having an older package installed in studio

Thanks Gabriel for your reply. How can I correct it ? As per best of my knowledge the workflow was developed with older UiPath version 18.1.3 and I was able to schedule as well . But after the automatic updates of v 18.2.0 I am not able to schedule. The problem comes only with scheduling. Looking forward for your reply

we are talking about Excel package version, not Studio version.
one solution is to have the same or newer version of excel package on the robot that executes the workflow

Thanks Gabriel. I tried the same approach but it is not working.

Did you managed to work correctly? I am having an issue same as yours.

What issue?

it has been solved by support team.
