I'm using Logstash to parse a CSV file which has fields in the following format:

- AssignmentDate (column header)
- 2/15/2016 (value)

If I open the CSV with Sublime Text, this value is shown like this:

```
Feb 15, 2016

```

In my index template:

```
"mappings": {
  "learning_plan_reports_data": {
    "date_detection": false,
    "properties": {
      "AssignmentDate": {
        "type": "date",
        "include_in_all": false,
        "format": "MMM dd, yyyy||MMM d, yyyy"
      },

```

Unfortunately, once this information gets through to Kibana, I'm seeing this:

```
 AssignmentDate February 15th 2016, 16:00:00.000

```

...what I'd like to obtain is this:

```
 AssignmentDate February 15th 2016

```

Any suggestions? Thank you.
