Bug - Create Author removes date of birth/death on error #21

User Experience

When clicking submit, if there is an error when the form is displayed with an error message, the entered date is removed. Names are unaffected.

Issue is with the date format. When there is an error, the date is just passed from the form, which leaves it in the wrong format:

create:1 The specified value "2020-11-20T00:00:00.000Z" does not conform to the required format, "yyyy-MM-dd".

I'd need to add a function somewhere to change it, either within the template, or before it gets passed to the template.
