How Do You FIX The Date No Matter Where User Is In The World?

[JustinC]

Trying to understand how bubble handles date inputs and time zones.

Using my desktop in the Eastern timezone I input a date and then I view the date in the app in the back end and it matches what I inputted.

Using a remote desktop based in Paris France I look at the SAME INPUT and the time and date is entirely off.

How do I FIX the date so that the inputted date remains the same no matter where in the world you are viewing it??

Bubble saves dates as unix timestamp, which is independant of time zones.

Client side, dates are shown in the current users timezone which can be changed with “:formatted as…”.

Solution for Adjusting Timezone / Date Picker / Server (UTC-GMT) Time Difficulties

In the Datepicker, we cannot select timezone. So when one selects just a date (no time), in another timezone it will will become a different date. If you select 12th July in Moscow today, in London it will show as 11th July. If you have dependent actions relative to 12th July, 11th July date will break logic of these actions.
