Yes, thats correct!
Ok, we checked your DB-FIELD-ID and it was indeed, correct!
Your problem is the wrong used DATE-Format for comparisson.
You can have several different DATE-Formats.

That means, if you want to make a COMPARISSON between two different DATES, both of them have to be in the SAME/IDENTICAL FORMAT!
const today = new Date(); console.log(today)
const todayLocale = today.toLocaleString(); console.log(todayLocale)
const todayLocaleDate = today.toLocaleDateString(); console.log(todayLocaleDate)
