Date and Datetime difference

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 24

Hi,

I have a form with a date only field that for some reason shows the date incorrectly when I use it in Power Automate.

For example, I select 03/05/2023 (UK time) and save the record. The front end shows it as 03/05/2023 but when I go to access the date in Power Automate it shows 02/05/2023.

So I added another field that was set to DateAndTime, selected the same date and this shows the date correctly as 03/05/2023. 

This is the trigger output:

Date Only: "new_customerfacetofacemeeting": "2023-05-02"

Date and Time: "new_customerfacetofacemeetingdatetime": "2023-05-03T07:00:00Z"

Both fields are set to user locale and both the user who enters data and the owner of the flow have their time zone set to UK time.

Any idea what's going on?

    Hi Sweden1968,

    I think it's still a time zone issue, please refer to the following two articles:

    Hi,

    Yes, it seems that it's Power Automate behaviour. I solved it by converting the date to a datetime and converted it from UTC to the correct time zone. I still don't understand the rationale to treating a date only field this way.
