'Get Queue Items' Not Working with From Date Filter - System.Exception: Invalid OData query options. Error code: 1000

I’m using the ‘Get Queue Items’ activity to get all queue items from the previous day using the ‘From’ argument and I keep getting this error message.

RemoteException wrapping System.Exception: Invalid OData query options. Error code: 1000

I was able to retrieve all queue items just fine up until I used the ‘From’ filter. I’ve used this in the past with no issues. All the ‘fixes’ I’ve seen have been telling me the input format was wrong so I used the date picker to choose yesterdays date instead of Today.AddDays(-1) and it was still giving me the same error message. Is it possible that this input no longer works because they removed the date field that the ‘From’ field is referencing? Here are my inputs for the ‘Get Queue Items’ activity.

From: 6/18/2025 (From the date picker)
Queue Item States: New, In Progress, Failed, Successful
Filter Strategy: Starts with
Continue on error: False
Output - Queue Items: enum_QueueItems

Again, everything was working fine up until using the ‘From’ field.

@mahenry

as per error your from date provided is wrong

can you please check the format properly

first try to use the date calendar option to select and open advanced editor to see the format

cheers

Thanks Anil, that is what I tried previously and it was still giving me that same error. I used the date picker/date calendar first, I tried Today.AddDays(-1), and I tried Now.AddDays(-1). Still no luck.

@mahenry

Can you try to degrade the system activity version for now and check please

cheers

I just tried and I’m still getting the same error. I went back to a version I know worked for me in the past (UiPath.System.Activities 23.4.3). I’m curious if the more recent ‘Add Queue Item’ activity removed the object in all queue items that the ‘From’ field is filtering on.

@mahenry

after a set of test we can confirm that there is an issue..looks like its an issue at api end itself. as the filter from api directly also is throwing the same error as verified from swagger

creationtime is present but filtering is not happening on it..

for now you might need to get all queue items and play with top and skip in loop to get items and filter on records you need

@loginerror - this looks like an issue…screenshots from swagger

filter used - CreationTime gt 2025-06-04T00:00:00.000Z

cheers

Hi @mahenry

Try this, few other users have faced this issue in the past, updating the api settings resolved the same for them, may help you as well.

If the time filter doesn’t work for you anymore, I think someone enabled the Strict API in your Orchestrator → Tenant → Settings

If Strict API is enabled, certain API fields become non-filterable and/or non-sortable, thus helping prevent performance issues. You can see a list of these fields in the dedicated page.

This setting is enabled by default for new tenants, but existing tenants need to be opted in manually.

Keeping this option enabled at all times is a recommended best practice in API integrations.

References:

Try to disable that Strict API option, retry the new behavior in the Get Queue Items activity and in the Orchestrator Swagger.

Thank you for the response Anil. It seems as if there is a setting in orchestrator under General called ‘Strict API’ that needs to be toggled off given the other responses. Thanks so much for your help!
