When applying FORMAT_DATE function to a DATE field, the resulting output is adjusting the DATE based on the timezone.


Note - This might be related to https://community.skuid.com/t/datetime-field-not-converting-correctly-based-on-user-ti…


Steps to Reproduce:


  1. Add field “Test_Date__c” to Account object as a DATE field

  2. Set SFDC timezone setting to make sure you are on a prior day from 00:00 GMT

  3. Create page using XML below

  4. Preview page

Expected Behavior

Test_Date__c == Formatted Date


Actual Behavior

Test_Date__c is correct

Formatted Date has adjusted for timezone (mine is PDT)
