Form Not Posting With Date Inputs

I have a basic form that is located in a modal. Initially the form gathered first name, last name and email address. The client requested that two additional fields of birthday and anniversary also be added to this form as well. The form was submitting correctly and submissions were being displayed in the forms app prior to these two additional inputs being added. After adding the two fields, the form will not submit. Is there a specific attribute that needs to be added to inputs with the type of date?

Below is the brief diagnostics report ~~~

We need to see your template.

Also, Perch is pretty out of date so the first thing to do would be to update Perch.

If you're using an HTML5 date field, you need to follow the format that field uses, which is ISO YYYY-MM-DD. If that's not what you want, stick with a text field.
