If you use the fields in the Object Type to be used in the summary and the date field is there, and then use this object as the reference object, you will only see as below
-
“Referenced by”
date field marked in red (completed correctly in object)
You see only text “object Object”
-
Reference field in object
like you see between this 2 sign which i marked in red ( | | ) should be date and there is nothing
