Custom date field in tasks that can be filtered via the GUI

Currently it's possible to filter tasks by "Created at" which opens up a calendar window where one can select "is after" e.g. 06.12.2023 00:00

If add a custom date to the "data" field in the json file only regex expression are available

{
"id": 3,
"data": {
"image1": "xxx1.jpg",
"image2": "xxx2.jpg",
"custom_field":"a_b_c"},
"image_creation_date":"2019-06-27T17:25:20.084014Z"
}

is it possible to have a custom date field in the task json that can be filtered via dei GUI (e.g. I'd like to label images **acquired** in 2019, independent of what date they were **added** to the db)?

1) I have tried to enter a custom date in the input task json for the field ("created_at":"2019-06-28T12:52:14.703569Z") but that value is overwritten in the db (understandably)
2) It is possible to use regex for data ranges, but it is a bit cumbersome

Thank you
