CSV import fails to recognize date fields and may create an empty database

Hello! I'm unfortunately having some difficulty importing a CSV into Slashpage. I have two distinct issues. I wish I could do it manually, but it is 6 columns with 385 rows. :(
I've uploaded a test CSV with just one row here.
Issue #1
I am unable to get dates recognised in the system. They display correctly as "text" (as expected), but when I change them to "date", the cell is made blank. Is there a format that works for Slashpage?
I have tried many variations and none work:
β’
September 20, 2026
β’
Sept 20, 2026
β’
9/12/2026
β’
2026/09/12
β’
2026.09.12 (this is the same format Slashpage uses by default)
I've also tried importing the CSV to Notion (Notion recognises the date immediately) β Notion export of MD & CSV (ZIP) β upload that ZIP to Slashpage or even just import Notion's CSV to Slashpage. The same issue occurs: as soon as I change it to date in Slashpage, the cell empties.
Is there a correct format for dates and times that Slashpage does accept?
Issue #2
Many CSV imports inadvertently fail, in that they claim to be successfully imported, but the result database has no rows and the headings are unusually named database entries that are not in my CSV file.
