We recently started using atomic updates in our application and have since noticed that date fields copied to a text field have varying results between full and partial updates. When the document is fully updated the copied text date appears as expected (i.e. yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ); however, when the document is partially updated (while omitting the date field) the original stored date value is copied to a different format (i.e. EEE MMM d HH:mm:ss z yyyy). I've included an example below of what we are seeing with the indexed value of our "createdDate_facet_t" field. Is there a way that we can force the copy field to always use "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ" as the resulting text format without having to always include the field in the update?
