Azure Form Recognizer Custom model Date recognize issue

Question

Hi. I'm trying to train custom Azure Form Recognizer model (template type) but have an issue with Date recognition. If I set Sub Type -> Date -> mdy and train my model, in result I didn't get Value in JSON. The issue only with date that contains text value of the month. For example "Oct 2 2022". But if date in format "10/15/2022" it recognized well. I already try all other Date formats (not-specified, dmy, mdy, ymd) but didn't receive value.

Used API version: 2022-08-31 (General Availability)

Moreover, pre-configured model Invoices can recognize the date in this format... See screenshot for detail Azure date Question.png

How can I set model to recognize date in "Oct 2 2022" format and receive Value in JSON?

Hi @Mike Sugak , Thanks for using Microsoft Q&A Platform.

Unfortunately, only numeric date values are supported by the Date Formats (dmy, mdy, ymd). As a result, these orders only affect the interpretation of numeric date values. You've already mentioned those scenarios.

The format "oct-2-2022" is currently not supported in the Custom models. You can accomplish this by using prebuilt models.

I hope this helps. Please, let me know if you need any other information.
