Take a date from user input and pass on to downstream flows

[yoyoumysin]

Trying to get a user input of a date and then feed into a formula tool to append a new column and populate each row with this date as entry into the newly appended column.

I ran into a lot of trouble in:

1. Figuring out how to configure the user interface tool, and,

2. Converting between strings and dates.

Input

Task	Name
1	ABC
2	XYZ

Then ask for user to choose/enter date: 5/15/2021

Output would append a column called "Date" and each field shows 5/15/2021.

Task	Name	Date
1	ABC	5/15/2021
2	XYZ	5/15/2021

Would the user enter a date for each task or will they just enter one date? Attached is a workflow using the Date interface tool that shows you two ways to accomplish this if the date is always the same.
