April 2026 (dotnet/aspnetcore): Key bug fix delivered to JsonSerializerSettings copy behavior to preserve DateFormatHandling, improving JSON serialization reliability across components. Implemented via a Copy Constructor to ensure DateFormatString does not overwrite DateFormatHandling; aligns with issue references (#61251, #29532). This change reduces cross-component serialization regressions and enhances backward-compatible formatting across serialized outputs. Activities included code changes, commit f9b6fcf1918d8a8faeebf5d1341ccf6b8eae9478, and validation across affected areas.
