I have a CPT that I would like to use date archives on (i.e., site.com/2019/12/my-post) but for the primary post type I need it to be set to post name (i.e., site.com/my-post).

In Settings > Permalinks the site is set to post name. This correctly output the URL for my posts. But for my custom posts, I don't get the date archive feature.

What I am trying to figure out is how do I enable the date archive feature of just one post type?

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset Types plugin, Types plugin is using WordPress function register_post_type() to create new post types, see WordPress document:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type#rewrite
slug' => string Customize the permalink structure slug. Defaults to the $post_type value

By default, you can setup only static text for post type rewrite rule.

And you might consider custom codes, for example add your custom rewrite rule using WordPress filter hook:
