Description
I have a postgres database in Aurora serverless, and one table contains a date field named discovered_date. After connecting this data source in Appsync the mutation is not working as expected. For the mutation the type for discovered_date is AWSDate and I have tried passing date string as mentioned in the documentation, but every time I am getting a validation error.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the AppSync mutation against the Aurora Serverless PostgreSQL data source, using the AWSDate value described in the documentation and the attached validation-error image. Compare the mutation schema and discovered_date input with the reported validation error; done means the mutation accepts the date and writes it correctly.
