Display a Different Date Format

In my Query Editor I have a date column with the data type "Date". When I put this field in the "Legend" field in the stack column chart, it shows the dates as Days (i.e Monday, July 5, 2020) but I want it like "7/6/2020", just how it is in the query editor data table. Is there any way to change this?

Select the date column in the Fields pane, then on the menu, choose Column Tools, Format dropdown and choose the desired format.
