So I've noticed that text fields in arcgis online are reformatting dates. How do I stop this? I made it a text field for a reason. I want "October 2023" to appear, not "10/1/2023". The only way I can get it to stop doing this is to put in extra text, but I don't want that.

Please see the photos:

Help!

If you can use Arcade, then you can do:

 Text($feature.DateField, 'MMM Y')

Hi, it's not a date field- it's a text field. That's my problem. Using Text($.feature.TextField) does work and resets it to it's actual input value, but I don't want to have to create a text field and then an arcade function to have to say what I already wrote. If I could skip that, that'd be ideal.
