I’m pretty sure toPlainDate() returns an object not a string.

What does that have to do with my comment?

The OP explicitly wrote

The answer ends in `toPlainDate()` which returns an object with year, month and day properties. ie it does not output the requested format.

This is in addition to the issue that `fromEpochSeconds(timestamp)` really should probably be `fromEpochMilliseconds(timestamp * 1000)`
