Need to remove ':' from the specific field value from json output - arrays

Question

I am trying to remove the : from the specific field value from the json output.
Please find the json output:
{
"suite_id": 111,
"object_type": 2,
"jobs": [
{
"jobId": 222,
"creationTime": "2022-04-12T13:38:02Z",
"browser": "chrome",
"browserVersion": "",
"platform": "win",
"platform_version": "",
"appiumVersion": "",
"deviceName": "",
"deviceOrientation": "",
"isSerial": false,
"totalExecutions": 1,
"isRetryExecAvailable": false,
"jobExecutionStatus": 1,
"etrs": {
"tasks": [
{
"executionId": 333,
"executionName": "Testing",
"executionStatus": "SUCCESS",
"restartExecutionStatus": "",
"restartExecutionId": 0,
"restartExecutionReportUrl": "",
"restartExecutionVideoUrl": "",
"initiatedOn": "2022-04-12T13:38:05Z",
"projectName": "Testproject",
"projectId": 1,
"executionVideoUrl": "",
"reportUrl": "avsfershd",
"testcaseId": 666,
"testCaseName": "testcase",
"errorsCount": 0,
"warningsCount": 0,
"statusMessage": "Success"
}
],
"total_execs": 0
},
"environmentType": "local"
}
]
}
I am taking the initiatedOn value from the json output by
$value = $Output.jobs.etrs.tasks.initiatedOn
which giving me value 2022-04-12T13:38:05Z but I need to remove : from the value.
Thank you,

Continuing from my comment,
I would cast this universal sortable date formatted string into a [datetime] object, which you can format as you like instead of cutting off part of the string..
$value = '{0:yyyy-MM-dd}' -f [datetime]$Output.jobs.etrs.tasks.initiatedOn
Your example ends with the Z for Zulu Time (UTC + 00:00), but another value may look like 2022-04-12T13:38:05+08:00, so converting it to datetime would IMO be best.
