Longname being ignored

I have an option for a start date.
` [Option('s', "startdate", Required = false, HelpText`

and am using the `-startdate 7/1/2020` as the arg

But no matter what I do, the args always end up being parsed as a shortname
`"nddate 7/1/2020"`

I would expect it to be `7/1/2020` and clean up that other stuff.
