CMS Collection Pages: Date Meta Tags - add ISO 8601 as alternative date format

Currently Webflow only has "Mmm DD, YYYY" format when using meta date tags in the CMS Collection Pages settings.

Example: <meta property="article:published_time" content="Sep 21, 2023" />

However, Google / Facebook and other sites require ISO 8601 formatting: "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS..." so can't read the date information.

Example: "2023-09-21T12:11:07+00:00"

Please add the ISO 8601 formatted date as alternative tag...

    This video has a solution: https://youtu.be/v6vFds-vdQA?si=hsSrBWT9LKGiWG7j&t=757

    The short answer is that you copy the line with the date field placeholder into a text editor and modify the format with "YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ" then paste it back into Webflow.

    "datePublished": "{{wf {&quot;path&quot;:&quot;published-on&quot;,&quot;transformers&quot;:[{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;date&quot;,&quot;arguments&quot;:[&quot;YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ssZ&quot;]\}],&quot;type&quot;:&quot;Date&quot;\} }}",

    Agreed! ISO 8061 must be a simple addition surely?

    Webflow promotes schema/structured data markup on their marketing page but somehow they dont have this feature
