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...

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

Very useful! Please add
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
