Formatter not recognizing date from Google Form

I am trying to set up a form to quickly add things to a database in Notion. The problem I am having is that Notion requires an ISO 8601 formatted date but Google forms doesn’t have that as an option. When using formatter, everything works and is connect, and it is able to read the date coming in but it always outputs 2022-01-01, regardless of what the date from the form actually is. 

 

Any recommendations on how to solve this?

Here are some screenshots

 

  1. Pulling data from form responses

 

  1. Test works and date shows 2/25/2022

 

  1. Using Formatter to format date to YYYY-MM-DD

 

  1. It says test was successful but in the output it has 2022-01-01 rather than 2022-02-25
