vue vee-validate captures the problem of date picker selection

Question

The v-model binding on my date picker field is not working properly.

When you make a selection it will update live on the screen but it will not store the values ​​in the formValues ​​reactive object.

Since vee-validate does not support date picker fields, how do I force it to update to the same react component (formValues) that all my other input fields are mapped to.
