Hi Arkady As far as I can tell, you have correctly set up the tiddlerfield object to describe the new “scheduled” field.
The problem is that your “New Tiddler” has a “scheduled” field that is a string; the tiddlerfield object causes the core to expect the field to be a date, hence the crash when it turns out to be a string. I suspect that the problem is caused by the way that you are assigning a value to the field, which is just to set it to a string value. You may be able to work around it by ensuring that the field is set to a JS date object. Having said that, the core function $tw.utils.stringifyDate() could be modified to automatically convert strings to dates, which might work around the problem.
