Hello Experts,

I am trying to write an expression in tmap but that is throwing an error : Type mismatch: cannot convert from Object&Serializable&Comparable<?> to Date

Expression: 

FileConsents.Status == "Opt-out" ? FileConsents.TRANSACTION_DATE : "" 

the field in output is a date field.

please help

Not sure this is enough, but did you try:
"Opt-out".equalsIgnoreCase(FileConsents.Status) ? FileConsents.TRANSACTION_DATE : null
(because you cannot move a empty string to a date field)
