I have a date field on a form that I would like to insert a value into the database. I created some error messages for the form. I am using form requests for validation logic. When I submit the form I have an error message about an empty date value. How can I solve this problem?
Thanks, Advance

Thank you for visiting the Q&A section on Magenaut. Please note that all the answers may not help you solve the issue immediately. So please treat them as advisements. If you found the post helpful (or not), leave a comment & I’ll get back to you as soon as possible.
Method 1
The rule of edu_start is array, so when you want to validate date you should set edu_start array items not the edu_start.
Please try to change your rules to:
public function rules()
{
return [
'edu_organisation' => ['required','array'],
'edu_start' => ['required','array'],
'edu_start.*' => ['date'],
'edu_end' => ['required','array'],
'edu_end.*' => ['date'],
'edu_position' => ['required','array'],
'edu_description' => ['required','array']
];
}Method 2
In your model Education set dates columns inside dates var:
class Education extends Model
{
protected $dates = ['start', 'end']
}In that case laravel will support your dates.
** If that still not working please post here the input you`ve got in the server, and the error that appeared.
Method 3
Set default date values in form group in html , relevant to date inputs
