In PS, we have to do legacy content migrations for many/most clients. The created_date field is used in Photo Center for most operations and is displayed on the item cards for each result in the search window. This field is set at the moment the content is created within Arc and cannot be changed/updated. As a result, the many years of content that we migrate into Arc all show up in Photo Center with their only visible/searchable date spanning just a few weeks. The utility of the date label and the search features are greatly diminished by this interaction. The ans-schema has several configurable date fields for galleries and photos, including publish_date and display_date: https://arcpublishing.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CA/pages/46897839/Dates+in+Story+API+ANS. It would be nice if Photo center could be configured to display a different date field on the gallery cards as well as search against other date fields. Being able to switch on the fly would be especially nice but having it in some global setting config somewhere would still help a lot.

Hi Joseph! There is a whole lot here!
So I will separate my answer based on gallerys and images since it seems like your request is for both:
Images
There are 2 date fields here created_date (or date uploaded to PC) and additional_properties.takenOn (date captured). Either field can be customized to show up in the new image search landing page UI once that feature is released (after this sprint). So the date captured can be a date displayed in the new card view.
We will take a look into the queryable and filter for dates as we look into advanced image search.
Galleries
Being able to display a customized date in the gallery list view and search is something that we will explore when doing gallery react rewrite
