Can't you reformat it in a function node or use the contrib-moment node?

```auto
<input type="date" ng-model="msg.payload.data1" id="date" name="Date" >
{{msg.payload.data1 | date:'mediumDate'}}

```

This code works for me as expected. You refered that by `payload.0.data1` but there is no array in your example.
