converting a DateTime column to string in ADF-CodePudding

I am trying to build a fully parametrised pipeline template in ADF. With the work I have done so far, I can do a full load without any issues but when it comes to delta load, it seems like my queries are not working. I believe the reason for this is that my "where" statement looks somewhat like this:

SELECT @{item().source_columns} FROM @{item().source_schema}.@{item().source_table} 
WHERE @{item().source_watermarkcolumn} > @{item().max_watermarkcolumn_loaded} AND @{item().source_watermarkcolumn} <= @{activity('Watermarkvalue').output.firstRow.max_watermarkcolumn_loaded}

where the 'max_watermarkcolumn_loaded' is a datetime format and the 'activity' output is obviously a string format.

Please correct me if my assumption is wrong and let me know what I can do to fix.

EDIT: screenshot of the error

ADF is picking a date from SQL column 'max_watermarkcolumn_loaded' in this format '"2021-09-29T06:11:16.333Z"' and I think thats where the problem is.

I tried to repro this error. I gave the parameter without single quotes to a sample Query. enter image description here

Wrap the date parameters with single quotes.

Corrected Query

SELECT @{item().source_columns} FROM 
@{item().source_schema}.@{item().source_table} 
WHERE @{item().source_watermarkcolumn} > 
'@{item().max_watermarkcolumn_loaded}' AND 
@{item().source_watermarkcolumn} <= 
'@{activity('Watermarkvalue').output.firstRow.max_watermarkcolumn_loaded}'

With this query, pipeline is run successfully. enter image description here
