I created a conference room calendar reservation request. The requestor submits a start date and end date. 

My workflow creates a variable where it calculates ‘end date - 10 minutes’. I have used both update field and set field to this new variable and the item will not accept the new date/variable.

Configure Action:

Update Item

Hi ​@isabellamai,

When updating a calendar item's end time, you also need to update the start time.
If the start time isn't changing, just update it to the current value as pictured below.
