Default
This presumably results from how you inserted the date, with a field that prompts for the date. Use a CreateDate field with a formatting switch instead. e.g. { CREATEDATE \@ "MM/dd/yyyy" } or wrap a Date field in a Quote field - { QUOTE { DATE } }
Either field will convert to text when merged.
