Date storage type won't export to Tableau Server

I have a dataset with a lot of date fields that I would like to export to tableau server using the Tableau Hyper format plugin.

When the dates have the default format yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ Dataiku recognizes them as date types, but the export to tableau server fails (screenshot provided).

When I format them to yyyy-mm-dd, they are no longer 'parsed' and cannot be stored as date type fields in dataiku.  So they export to tableau as string field types and I do not have the ability to change the datatype in tableau when exporting from dataiku.

Is there any way to export date type fields to tableau server?

Hi @amilack ,
Can you please confirm you DSS version and version of the plugin you are using?
Are you using the legacy plugin or the https://www.dataiku.com/product/plugins/tableau-hyper-export/ 

This issue was likely fixed in a more recent version of the plugin :

Thanks,
