Just to save someone else some time.

If you want to use valid_date in a model. The format of the date format must not be quoted.

Like this:

$val->add_field('publish_start_date', 'Start Date', 'valid_date[m/d/Y g:i A]');

I mistakenly kept trying like:

$val->add_field('publish_start_date', 'Start Date', 'valid_date["m/d/Y g:i A"]');

and could not for the life of me figure out why I kept getting errors!

The error it was giving me was:

The format separator does not match

Correct, the regex behind it splits on the square brackets, making the double quotes part of the match string.
