hot_to_r fails to copy date data about rhandsontable HOT 6 OPEN

The issue seems to be in the rhandsontable function in file rhandsontable.R line 75:

if (!useTypes) {
        data = do.call(cbind, lapply(data, function(x) {
            if (class(x) == "Date") 
                as.character(x, format = "%m/%d/%Y")
            else as.character(x)
        }))
        data = as.matrix(data, rownames.force = TRUE)
        cols = NULL
    }

where one should change as.character(x, format = "%m/%d/%Y") to format(x, "%m/%d/%Y").

Seems like its an easy fix, I had same issue with code after update to 4.3. I just replaced
as.character(data[, x], format = "%m/%d/%Y"), with format(data[, x], format = "%m/%d/%Y")
Not sure if that will break older code, but using trace I quickly tried it and it worked.

Where would one apply this fix to the example provided? It is not at all clear to me.

Hi, I made the fix in the package by downloading it and creating my own package. However it did not fix the issue with the date, I spoke too soon. I fixed warning, but my dates are still getting messed up whenever I update a table. So seems the error is something else. I just went back to 4.2.1, that was the easiest fix.

Having same issue after switching from R 4.2.2 to 4.3 as well. Seems a compatibility issue?
