The correct date pulled in from an api call is 2024-11-01, and when I click on the actual box it shows that, however if I click off it it is displaying as todays date?…

Try adding a time to that date, such as midnight

Doesn’t look like you added a time to the underlying date. I still only see 2024-11-01 in your screenshot.

For reference:

> Yes, that actually makes sense. It seems that a date value like YYYY-MM-DD is misinterpreted as the current date, but a date with a time (YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ) is interpreted correctly.

The date coming through is from an api from an external dev who seperates date and time, we’ve never had an issue up til now. I think they updated something on their end. Is there any other possible fix, or should we try our luck in reaching out to the dev?

I realize it’s coming from an API, but I’m trying to determine if it’s the same issue that Airtable users are experiencing. I just wanted to know if adding time to the date made a difference.

If you look at the thread I shared, @Darren_Murphy mentioned that it had already been reported to Glide Engineering, but I don’t know if they are focusing only on Airtable (which has been the only data source reported other that yours), or if they are looking at it more broadly.
