Need to convert a string to a date in GeoEvent

Question

I have a feature layer that has the date/time in two separate string fields labeled "Date" and "Time".  I need to convert these into a date field using GeoEvent.  I created a second feature service that has a DateTime field that is a date field however I am having trouble getting GeoEvent to copy the string date over into the second feature layer as a date.  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks Adam!  I just figured out another way to do it in GeoEvent.  First, I used a Field Calculator in GeoEvent to combine the date and time fields (Date + ' ' + Time) and output the result as a string.  Then I used another Field Calculator to replace all the dashes in the date field (replaceAll(Date,'-','/')).  I created a new date field while also creating a new definition that had a date/time field.  Finally I used Field Mapper to map this newly created date/time field from the new definition in a new feature layer.
