I thought I had the system working after the upgrade but when I create a new certificate and then try to Approve Request, I get an error "Unable to load workflow information."

If I looks at /var/log/catchall.log I see:
2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.application.INFO start cert issue for serial 30463, workflow 99327 [pid=365514|sid=gHAc]

Then a bunch of
2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.deprecated.ERROR Using 'inherit' is deprecated - use YAML merge operator (<<:) instead [pid=365514|sid=gHAc]

Then
2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.system.ERROR I18N_OPENXPKI_DATETIME_GET_VALIDITY_INVALID_VALIDITY; __VALIDITYFORMAT__ => absolutedate, __VALIDITY__ => 1 [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.application.ERROR NICE backend error: I18N_OPENXPKI_DATETIME_GET_VALIDITY_INVALID_VALIDITY; __VALIDITYFORMAT__ => absolutedate, __VALIDITY__ => 1 [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.application.WARN NICE issueCertificate failed but pause_on_error is requested  [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.system.ERROR Invalid format given to detect; __VALIDITY__ => 5 [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 OpenXPKI.Server.Workflow.ERROR Caught exception from action: Invalid format given to detect; __VALIDITY__ => 5; reset workflow to old state 'APPROVED_GLOBAL_PERSIST_CSR_0' [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.workflow.ERROR Workflow 99327/certificate_signing_request_v2/APPROVED_GLOBAL_PERSIST_CSR_0 uncaught exception [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.system.ERROR I18N_OPENXPKI_SERVER_WORKFLOW_ERROR_ON_EXECUTE; __ACTION__ => global_nice_issue_certificate, __ERROR__ => Invalid format given to detect; __VALIDITY__ => 5, __EXCEPTION__ => OpenXPKI::Exception [pid=365514|sid=gHAc] 2026/06/23 14:15:44 openxpki.workflow.ERROR Error executing workflow activity "csr_approve_csr" on workflow id #99327 (type "certificate_signing_request_v2"): I18N_OPENXPKI_SERVER_WORKFLOW_ERROR_ON_EXECUTE; __ACTION__ => global_nice_issue_certificate, __ERROR__ => Invalid format given to detect; __VALIDITY__ => 5, __EXCEPTION__ => OpenXPKI::Exception [pid=365514|sid=gHAc]

If this has to do with the certificate valid dates, I did change them to
Not Valid Before ................. 2026-06-23 12:00:00 UTC
Not Valid After ....................2028-06-23 12:00:00 UTC
