I have a very strange problem this morning. A heading displays incomplete text just for me, nobody else. I have the only Owner role but there is no visibility filter that uses it there. In any case the text is incomplete, not missing. It should look like this: ![Date showing day - user](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/0/706718ea1825465245a2720de39f8c7440b1b0ea.png) But it looks like this: ![Date not showing day - Owner](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/7/87b57315edf96dc3afbc88efb2bc2dec0de320a6.png) This is the component: ![Heading component contents](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/0/a0c43166e5be2612c7be77dbdc0f200cc9fd4534.png) and tihs is the profile entries for me and some other users. You can see that the _fmtDate2H_ entries are all the same. ![Profile entries for trip dates](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/a/fa1798106897d396e6121dbf9759a897bf7dbce9.png) Is this a bug or what? I may add that this trip is the first one for the year; I started using Glide later in last year. ---

Is that a Template column? How is it configured? Where are the values coming from, and how are they calculated? Without any further context, my guess is that you have a Date plugin column somewhere in the chain that is tripping things up. They are known to give inconsistent/unreliable results. ---

Thanks @Darren_Murphy - you are correct, it is a template column. Before I answer the rest of your questions: if the value of the template contains the day as well as the month, how come it shows only the month? And only for me? There are a number of date columns, starting with the coming Friday’s calculated date and including checks if the date falls in the school term, on a public holiday etc., and a lot of columns simply formatting the date differently for different uses. You saying that dates “known to give inconsistent/unreliable results” makes me think that Glide itself is falling down on the job. I stand by my view that if the column shows “16 Jan” it should show “16 Jan” wherever and by whomever it is used. It fortunately does not affect my users, just me. AND WOW! I just checked if it will display correctly for me in user role and not owner, and now it is correct! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/2/22299fb080bd244483ecbb49c156b129e93d60ff.png) That button at the bottom shows I’m viewing as Owner not user. Chalk it up to the gremlins. **UPDATE** The heading text fixed itself. But now, **without me even touching that screen layout** , the schedule refuses to show a certain school. Here is the screenshot I sent the kids earlier today (09:21)☹ ![WhatsApp Image 2026-01-15 at 09.21.26](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/2/225753260f01ec9d1a4b253734f57477d4465390.jpeg) and now it is this: ![Last school pickup not showing](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/4/b42d4cfca4e987d58e73ccdcb3fe200d209c9bfb.png) The times for Larries and McFarlane was changed at 09:40 in this data grid: ![Last school pickup in data grid](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/2/8269acfefbba37e5edf734f44a8ae3ea3dab818b.png) As you can see in the grid, the entry for McFarlane has all the necessary data. If I swap the time and sequence # for the schools, they both show up in the schedule!! If I swap them back, McFarlane doesn’t. This is not the first time the data grid messes around. Last year, when I copy and paste a field like the last pickup time (2:40 PM), it would add some random field from the Welcome screen (1st screen) at the bottom, like this: ![Grid after copy&paste of cells](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/f/4f48e800aa2fe4ef96a63e266bb5a1dafcc82fe1.png) Which also fixed itself later. ---

Last year, when I copy and paste a field like the last pickup time (2:40 PM), it would add some random field from the Welcome screen (1st screen) at the bottom, like this: There’s a chance you copied something from the Welcome screen earlier, and when you paste the value later, Glide thinks you’re trying to paste components. It happened here and there for me for a long time. > [@Paarl\_Bus](#): > > Before I answer the rest of your questions: if the value of the template contains the day as well as the month, how come it shows only the month? And only for me? If you use some kind of date formatting like Darren suggested, it’s possible only your device failed to format it. Formatting is a device-specific issue, and not relating to you changing users in your builder. ---

Thank you, that was very informative.
