šŸ“† Date/time formats

@Daniel_Lozano couldnā€™t get it to work, unfortunatelyā€¦ but I can wait for a fix. Thanks for helping out.

@Mark if it helps, I recorded a test post on my phone and you can see how the timestamp initially displays but quickly disappears after a few seconds. Thanks again!

Thank you so much! I had posted about this yesterday, requesting this feature. Itā€™s no longer displaying 24-hr format for user upon clicking on calendar event. Appreciate it!

Have you guys noticed too how Sheets displays the calendar? So in Glide, it displays the correct date that I entered in Sheets: April 2, 2020. But in Sheets, it reverses the month and day to show it like this. I know this isnā€™t a Glide issue, but kind of confusingā€¦

Soā€¦in data editor with theā€¦ if then columnā€¦ when ā€¦if date is within todayā€¦ it takes dates 4 March instead today 3 Abril.

It is supposed this will be consequently working ok probably on Tuesday.

Right @Mark ??

Thanks

The same thing happened to @kyleheney with my Meet With Me app:

Iā€™m having a Date/Time issue.

I have a Choice Component that has the user selecting a date field ---- the sheet where the choices are stored is recognizing this column as a Date field in the Editor.

When the user submits a response and the Date field is recorded using a ā€œColumnā€ component to capture the selected date, the response is recorded in a text format and not a date format. In the Editor, my Responses sheet then displays this field as a text column and not a date column. Because of this, I cannot apply a date filter to the responses, as itā€™s recognized as a text field and not a date field.

If I change the formatting in my spreadsheet for the Date column on my Responses sheet, it updates the current values to a Date format, but anything submitted afterwards gets inserted into my sheet as a piece of text (i.e. 'March 31, 2020).

Right. I noticed this too.

Yepā€¦ Also for graph, same problem.

Thanks for reporting this. Weā€™ll look into it.

@Christophe_HK What do you mean ā€œgraphā€?

Glide lets you create new columns now and define the type right away in the data tab. Looks like you can plug in a date and itā€™s recognized as a date. Try that once.

Unless itā€™s how you have the date formatted in the choice component. I just tried typing a date in a text box and that seemed fine, but it looked like this ā€˜3/14/2020 20:55:00ā€™

I saw that! I had to do a double take and wonder if I had missed that all along.

I had seen it in staging the other day. I was surprised that it was in production.

Hi @Mark,

In my gsheet, I have set all dates using the UI format as advised, even if my app is French (and so dd/mm/yyyy instead of mm/dd/yyyy).

In the data editor, I see my date column and I apply the ā€œshortā€ dat (only) format. It appears correctly in the dd/mm/yyyy format. Thatā€™s ok, and alo OK when the date is displayed by text components within my app.

But, using a bar chart, I noticed a bug : dates format is not managed correctly. See hereafter what happens :

bar_chart_issue

Displayed as ā€œtextā€, the date is correct, I mean in the expected format (dd/mm/yyyy). But using graph, US formatā€¦

Thereā€™s probably a way to work around this problem, by casting these dates as text in the correct format. But my app is going to be full of data soon, so if I can avoid to add non necessary data in the sheet, it would be better for meā€¦

Anyway, I dont put lot of pressure for this problem, itā€™s not so critical : I can explain to end users.

Christophe

I see the bug. Weā€™ll fix it. Thank you for reporting!

Hi @Mark,

There have been issues with Date/Time formats for the last few days. Itā€™s causing some serious issues with an app Iā€™m relying on for scheduling purposes. Formats are getting changed, seemingly for no reason. My Sheetā€™s array formulas arenā€™t even able to get the formatting corrected in the sheet, which is leading to relations not matching, etc etc.

Can someone look at this asap? Iā€™d be happy to provide access to my app to an admin who can look at the issues through a private message (as the app has private information).

Thank you
