Description
What is the problem you are attempting to solve with this feature?
When sending the input of a Input.Date control from an actionable message card to the backend, the date is returned in a different format depending on that platform used. I have tried Web/desktop, Android Outlook app and Outlook desktop app, they all return different values making it difficult to process the value in a standardised way.

What alternatives or workarounds have you considered
Handling multiple possible date formats and try to deserialize to datetimeoffset manually.
