Creating a setting of type date

I have the following:

<resources>
    <string id="AppName">Some App</string>

    <bitmap id="LauncherIcon" filename="images/launcher_icon.png" />
    <bitmap id="id_monkey" filename="images/monkey.png" />
    
   <properties>
        <property id="stringproperty" type="string">Some String</property>
        <property id="dateproperty" type="string">2015/01/01</property>
    </properties>

    <strings>
       <string id="string_title">String Title</string>
       <string id="date_title">Date Title</string>       
    </strings>

    <settings>
        <setting propertyKey="@Properties.stringproperty" title="@Strings.string_title">
            <settingConfig type="alphaNumeric"/>
        </setting>
        
        <setting propertyKey="@Properties.dateproperty" title="@Strings.date_title">
            <settingConfig type="date"/>
        </setting>
    </settings>
</resources>

The compiler is throwing the following error:

BUILD: ERROR: The setting defined for property 'event1_date_prop' is an invalid setting type (DATE) for the property type 'STRING'.

Does anyone know how to create a setting with a date type?

Date values are saved in seconds from the UNIX epoch. The necessary type is number.

Thank you!

No problem. I created a ticket to add documentation around what property type is tied to each configuration type.
