Datastore Converts Date-Time Format on Insert

Leeann

Hey @Product
I've noticed that when inserting a row into datastore with a date-time field, it changes the end value.
Example:
Insert JSON:
{
"launch_body": "",
"launch_title": "Date Test",
"wrkflow_name": "MMR",
"timestamp": "2026-09-25T09:32:42Z",
"date": "2026-09-25",
"custom_unique_id": "60472026-09-25T09:32:42Z",
"result": "Done",
"notes": "",
"_id": "6ab67e4cb95066efc8481904"
}
Test Execution ID: e3422849-e9c4-4ba8-b9ec-5f39fb113e41
Datastore Table UI

Other Example:
Wrkflow Run: https://account.wrk.com/v2/dashboard?client_id=5694&wrkflow=58510&panel=launches&launch=1839633
Execution ID: f6c04441-580e-4cf0-bf4a-2aef13841aa4

Is there a way to get it to not convert the timezone when added?

Hey Leeann,

The conversion is only taking place on the front end to convert the UTC timezone that you submitted the time as into your local timezone. The back end data remains unchanged. If you want to treat it as a string instead of a date you could start your date with a character like ' to avoid the front end date conversion.
