Hi there!
Am trying to run my hugo-supported page with the academic theme. Last time I checked up on it, it was running and it was at the end of March 2021. Today I wanted to add some information on it and I had to face the following error message:
Error: Error building site: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: execute of template failed:
template: index.html:18:8: executing "main" at <partial "widget_page.html" .>: error calling partial:
execute of template failed: template: partials/widget_page.html:79:9: executing
"partials/widget_page.html" at <partial $widget_path $widget_args>: error calling partial:

template failed: template: partials/widgets/experience.html:40:23: executing
"partials/widgets/experience.html" at <.date_end>: can't evaluate field Format in type *errors.errorString
I have not updated hugo for some time by now and the version I have on my machine is definitely not a version 0,8X. Moreover, the hugo academic template has been updated many times since March and apparently I never followed the breaking changes. However, the page was up and running last March and I tried to run earlier version of Hugo, just in case. I tried running all hugo version back to 0.79 and I kept getting the same error.
Am far from an expert in Hugo and the error is probably due to some naive mistake. However, I did not change anything to the code and there is no way I can figure out what is happening.
Here is the experience.html file:
{{ $ := .root }}
{{ $page := .page }}
<!-- Experience widget -->
<div class="row">
<div class="col-12 col-lg-4 section-heading">
<h1>{{ with $page.Title }}{{ . | markdownify }}{{ end }}</h1>
{{ with $page.Params.subtitle }}<p>{{ . | markdownify }}</p>{{ end }}
</div>
<div class="col-12 col-lg-8">
{{ with $page.Content }}{{ . }}{{ end }}
{{ if $page.Params.experience }}
{{ $exp_len := len $page.Params.experience }}
{{ range $idx, $key := sort $page.Params.experience ".date_start" "desc" }}
<div class="row experience">

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
