Hi @Yiqingzzz - could you check that your metadata file has a "date" column in it?

Thank you very much for your reply! There was a data colmn in my orignal metadata file.However I didn’t find the error with the format. So I reprepared the metadata file and this error was gone.Maybe there was something wrong with the format of orignal metadata file.
