Git Log issue: date is not showing when oneline option in used
I see lots of great answers in Pretty git branch graphs that show the oneline option for git log being used with dates. However, when I run these commands my output is different, I don't see the dates. The options --oneline and --date=<relative or iso> seem to be incompatible.
Result for git log --date=iso:
Result for git log --date=iso --oneline:
I tried this on three different computers with similar results.
Update:
@phd suggested that this is a duplicate. I don't believe that it is. The linked question asks "How to commit date". Perhaps they mean "How to show the commit date", but as it stands the question is not clear. Also, in the possible duplicate the OP asks about several options simultaneously. I am specifically asking how to show or print dates (author date or commit date) when using the oneline option. The other OP is also concerned with the size of the commit history, which is also outside the scope of my question.
Perhaps the other question could be edited to match this question, but it didn't come up when I searched for this issue (although I didn't use the git-log tag specifically, because I didn't notice that tag until I was searching for appropriate tags for my question).
@phd also apparently downvoted me because "screenshots". I know of no other effective way to show the results of printed formatting without using screenshots, especially because they have color. By the way, the linked question also uses screenshots. Perhaps @phd can help improve that question if they truly believe the cause of not using screenshots on StackOverflow.
@phd also downvoted me because "no research". Actually, I spent quite a bit of time researching this question and reading the man page, thank you very much, and going through the linked question and other linked questions. I edited my question to keep it concise to increase the value to future readers. The brevity is an indication of the time invested in the editing, not an indication of a lack of effort in researching.

The--onelineformat does not select any date formatting options, so the--datesetting for those format options has no effect. Use a different format, that has a date-formatting option in it. (Note:--onelineis exactly the same as--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit.)

Should add the date in the format.
For instance:
git log --pretty=format:"%h %s %an %ad" --date=relative
Where %ad means "author date" using --date option value

You indeed cannot use these two options together. You could, however, emulate this behavior by explicitly stating the format:
$ git log --format='%h (%ai) %s'
