Since updating from 6.7.2 to 6.8.0 all queries of my watchers give this error:

`"failed to parse date field [] with format [strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis]"`

The query looks like this:

```
"range": {
"trigger_event.triggered_time": {
"gte": "{{ctx.trigger.scheduled_time}}||-3650d", 
"lte": "{{ctx.trigger.scheduled_time}}",
"format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis"
}}

```

How can I solve this issue?
