I’m trying to set up form validation for some date/time fields but the validation seems to be using a different time zone than I’m set to (EST), perhaps its using GMT. I checked my setting in airtable and it’s correct, I can’t find any options to change in noloco. How do I get this validation accurate? ![Screenshot 2024-04-11 at 8.08.09 AM](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/noloco/original/1X/88700c1ab00e5f6b6ef45ddeead29a19805ee24f.png) ---

> [@onlymatt](#): > > I checked my setting in airtable and it’s correc What are the settings in Airtable @onlymatt , and were they recently changed? This will have a big impact on the scope of this potential bug. Thanks ---

Okay, thanks for clarifying! Just to confirm a few things, the validation itself is working right? It’s just the time in the validation error message? Thanks ---

Yes it was correctly validating, just the time it was displaying was off by 4 hours ---

I’m having the same issue. Using Smartsuite as my data source. Was this a bug? Or a setting? ---

Same issue here. I’m trying to filter and group a list of records by date and time but there seems to be an issue with the date format and/or timezone settings. Everything is working fine in AirTable. I have a date field set to the desired timezone (same timezone for all collaborators - enabled) and the dates and times are correct. The field settings have not been changed in the past few months. For testing purposes, I created a secondary date field, copied over the data, and set it to GMT. **The results in Noloco are identical**. I also tried creating formula fields that output a valid date in Airtable, but Noloco doesn’t recognize them as such (no relative date filter option available). Does anyone have any updates on how to make this work in Noloco? ---

@darragh sure thing! Unfortunately I can’t share the data publicly, but I’m more than happy to share links with the support team. I reached out a couple of days ago but still no response. Thanks!
