Format a Date filled by "AI Extract Info"

Yesterday I used the “AI Extract Info” feature to create a column that extracts a DATE from a TIMELINE with the Instruction: “end date”.

When I first created this, the date was filling in as “September 3, 2025” which is what I want. Then, today, I noticed that there were actually two “AI Extract Info - End Date” automations on the board, and since I couldn’t delete them from the Automations area, I deleted the column and started over.

Today, the EXACT SAME INSTRUCTIONS have the AI filling the DATE field with “2025-09-03” which I do not want. I’ve tried many variations on instructions that say things like “end date as ‘month, DD’” but these instructions either lead to “no result” or the same date format.

There is no Date format option in the column settings, because it’s technically not a Date column.

Any suggestions on how to get the AI to fill the date in using the format I prefer?
