Description of change
The issue here is that the validation on the frontend (can we parse a valid date from what the user enters using the momentjs library?) normally combines with postgres date columns to standardize the saved format. Since we are saving the date here to a JSON field, the date field can contain any arbitrary value that moment can figure out. This change preempts the save and create communication log services to use moment's formatting to save whatever date it has parsed from user input.
How to test
Save a date in a non MM/DD/YYYY format in the communication date field in the comm log. Save: the value in the UI and the database is corrected.
