Factory make and protected $dates field in model

[ZejdCicak]

I have been writing tests and I came across a weird thing happening. I have a model that has a
protected $casts = [ 'registration_date' => 'date:Y-m-d' ] protected $dates = ['registration_date']

And when I load a record from database this works just fine so my "registration_date" is e.g. 2020-03-23, but when using a make method from factory it is like this doesn't apply so I end up with "registration_date" 2020-03-23 00:00:00 which seams really weird to me.

Anyone got any feedback on why is this happening, or am I doing something wrong?
