Additional Information
This is not a bug. The data type of the field 'Date' that is referenced in the error message is the 'Date Only' field type. This is a new field type added in ArcGIS Pro version 3.2. Refer to the documentation below: https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/get-started/whats-new-in-arcgis-pro.htm#:~:text=Date%20only%E2%80%94Stores%20a%20date%20value%20only%2C%20such%20as%202023%2D04%2D12. These new field types do not exist for shapefiles, which explains the error. As workaround, use the Fields section of the Export Features or Export Table pane to select a field type of 'Date' for the field named Date instead of 'Date Only'.Workaround
- Export the feature class as a shapefile and then perform the join using the csv table.
- Perform join with the excel file (with a date field) and then export the feature class as a shapefile.
