Date is wrong in attributes

Question

We noticed that the Date field in the attributes is one day earlier than the actual submitted date. Is this fixable? Is there a work-around that allows me to have the actual date (I'm in Eastern Standard Time) rather than the "one day earlier date" in my attributes?

Hi Cindy,

Just to check, the Date field you are highlighting is a 'Date' question?  If so, that is stored as midnight in the submitting time zone - if someone submits this in a timezone west of you, it may appear as the previous day.

You can try doing a calculation on date to add / subtract the required number of hours to adjust your date. Otherwise this posting mentions an offset to adjust date/time.
