Feature Request: Date field Advanced search
The date field search is ineffective when articles are saved in various formats, such as "2022," "4/2015," or "Oct./2001."

I believe either the article metadata should be translated into a customized format by the user (https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/116108/date-field-error-during-file-renaming-feature-request-date-field-customized-option/p1) or Zotero should throw an error if the date is not in the correct format, similar to the error handling in the DOI Manager plugin when no DOI is found.
