Start Date in User Profile Is Missing

The start date is missing, so I cannot update it using the usersProfileSet method.

Hey @mirland! 👋 Thanks for sharing this with us - we have #1517 open that might address this alongside other updates!

We'll share updates once this is released 🚀 ✨

java-slack-sdk/slack-api-model/src/main/java/com/slack/api/model/User.java

Line 140 in 2b2a455

private String startDate;

🗣️ That closed earlier than expected! But I have confirmed the changes now on main will work alongside the following calls:

var response = slack.methods().usersProfileSet(r -> r.token(token).name("start_date").value("2025-10-17"));

User.Profile profile = new User.Profile();
profile.setStartDate("2025-10-17");
var response = slack.methods().usersProfileSet(r -> r.token(token).profile(profile));

As long as the admin settings use the API as a data source found Atlas > Configure profiles > About me > Start Date:

Thanks! 🙌

We've released these changes in v1.46.0 so I'll close this issue, but please do share similar findings whenever! 💌 ✨

Thanks so much!
