Use case

For users of scripts: No need to check out the date format? Is it YYYY-MM-DD or YYYY-DD-MM etc. It makes selecting input easier. Furthermore if you submit an invalid date (E.g. 2024-02-31) this would be already rejected during the form submission

For developers of scripts: No need to manually parse dates => Less code, less error handling in case of invalid input.

Database changes

None

Thanks for volunteering @JCWasmx86! What do you think about adding a DateTimeVar while we're at it, to convey a specific date & time? I'd expect it can be done with very little additional work.
