It's possible to empty out the date field of all items with a certain value using javascript, basically as described here: https://www.zotero.org/support/dev/client_coding/javascript_api#exampleitem_f

Are you using any add-ons (other than the standard Zotero Word/LibreOffice add-on) or have performed any bulk actions in your library using API or Javascript (if that doesn't mean anything to you, you
