Well, to clarify... If you want to use the Expression ${field.value} then you'll want to use the Replacement Value Strategy of "Literal Value." When you're doing is evaluating the RecordPath, getting the value as the variable ${field.value} and then attempting to evaluate that as a RecordPath. So if //log_date evaluated to say "01/01/2019" then the way you have it configured, it would be attempting to evaluate "01/01/2019" as a RecordPath, and that's why it is failing. Changing the strategy to Literal Value means that you would set the value "01/01/2019" as the value for the field (i.e., you would not be changing anything).
