Hi everyone, I have date column but when I generate it into invoice, it does not display as I expected. Then reformated using “Formated\_Date” function and it went very well. But now it can’t work like before ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/9/c/9c97c1b25de974ae092636178962a306b8af2b26.png) is there any other alternative? ---

I generally don’t trust the Format Date column, or any experimental columns that work with dates. If you have a date column that already has the formatting you like, then you can redisplay it using a template column and that formatting will be locked in. ---

So far I have kept the time in raw format when it comes to computing. Indeed, this column is only used for information and is not important so I have not found the problem. ---

This typically happens whenever your IP can’t connect to the site where Glide is hosting those experimental columns. Me, living in Vietnam, experience this multiple times a year. It usually goes away in like 1 day. ---

Aplikasi kamu masih yang klasik atau yang baru? Glide baru masih ada. Gunakan pencarian saja jika kamu tidak menemukannya. ---

Ya, I usually do the same thing. It’s annoying as hell though. I feel you.
