People API not creating birthday when date object is passed - google-people-api

Question

I want to create a contact where I need to create entry in birthday calendar. Hence I am using people API to create a birthday date
I am following this documentation https://developers.google.com/people/api/rest/v1/people#Person.Birthday
Click here to open the API builder
personFields are set to
names,birthdays,phoneNumbers,memberships
I am passing the person object as
{
"phoneNumbers": [
{
"type": "work",
"value": "[phone]"
}
],
"names": [
{
"unstructuredName": "Bradley"
}
],
"birthdays": [
{
"date": {
"year": 2012,
"month": 10,
"day": 13
}
}
],
"memberships": [
{
"contactGroupMembership": {
"contactGroupResourceName": "contactGroups/myContacts"
}
}
]
}
But the API does create a date with "text": "10/13/2021" which is of no use since this method will not create entries in birthday calendar. I am expecting the date object to be passed. Could anyone tell me, Whether I am missing something
curl --request POST \
'https://people.googleapis.com/v1/people:createContact?personFields=names%2Cbirthdays%2CphoneNumbers%2Cmemberships&key=[YOUR_API_KEY]' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer [YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN]' \
--header 'Accept: application/json' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{"phoneNumbers":[{"type":"work","value":"[phone]"}],"names":[{"unstructuredName":"Bradley"}],"birthdays":[{"date":{"year":2012,"month":10,"day":13}}],"memberships":[{"contactGroupMembership":{"contactGroupResourceName":"contactGroups/myContacts"}}]}' \
--compressed

There is a new bug affecting the setting of birthdays
I suggest you to "star" it to increase visibility, so that it hopefully will be fixed faster.
