Newly-attached marriage sources are now setting their source dates incorrectly

RTorchia

This is a recent bug. I only noticed it starting a few days ago. When marriage sources are attached, they're setting the source date to the range covered by the collection rather than the event date. For example:

The event date is 4 Sep 1709; the collection it's from is "Croston. Parish Registers 1684–1727".

I was able to reproduce the problem from scratch with other records from that film.

1. Search for Film Number 001517649: https://www.familysearch.org/search/record/results?count=100&q.filmNumber=001517649
2. Find any marriage with a "possible tree match".
3. Attach it.
4. Go to the Source List and check the date on the source.

This seems like it's only affecting marriage records. I couldn't reproduce with christening or burial records. (I haven't tried any other record types specifically for this bug.)
