Why is the iso 8601 date format not available in Apple Shortcuts? I have my OS Venture 13.52 and iOS 16.6.1 on my iPhone and iPad mini Date Format(s) set for YYYY-MM-DD as 8601 specifies but when I create an Apple Shortcut on my iOS device to "Paste Date" it's in the older, out of date format, Sep 20, 2023 at 12:47 PM. "Heh Apple", can this not be easily added to the Shortcuts App?
iPad, iOS 10
On iOS 16.6.1, if you follow the Shortcuts Date action with its next action suggestion (e.g. Format Date), you will discover that the latter action defaults to Date Format short. If you click on short, it opens a long menu of date formatting options including ISO 8601 with or without time and even locale.

Apple isn't here. Feel free to send them feedback.
You are welcome.
