Edgardo,
Sorry, completely misunderstood the problem. You’re right.
The issue is that when you use the “now” function, it has to be the first thing
in the Expression. So to do what you're wanting, you’ll have to embed a new
expression:
${created_at:toDate("yyyy-MM-DD'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"):lt( ${now():minus(3600000)}
)}
That should do it for you. If not, let me know!
Thanks

Mark,
The documentation for toDate say that it returns a number so going from a
number to a number doesn't fix the problem. The validation message says it
is invalid because Unexpected token 'now' at line 1....
If I type a number say 100 so ${created_at:toDate("yyyy-MM-
DD'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'"):lt(100)} I validates fine anything else throws a
validation message.
Cheers,
Edgardo
