You need to change the mapping in elasticsearch and set data as an object and not a text.

Make sure it is following an Elastic recognized date format or specify a custom format in your mapping as following: [Date field type | Elasticsearch Guide [8.15] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/date.html#multiple-date-formats)
