Issue with Date on a word document

[CorruptZeus]

I have a flow that takes an Issue Date and then adds 30 days from that date and updates an End Date column with the new date. This flow is a for a library that is connected to word documents, we are running into an issue where every time the date is updated, it is correct in the column, say for today 5/27/2022 + 30 days = 6/26/2022. However, in the word document it shows up as one day less, so on the word document it shows 6/25/2022. Does anyone know a fix for this?

In the Sharepoint library^

In the word document ^

The problem is a time zone shift.  When you read or input a date in SharePoint using the SharePoint interface it automatically uses the time zone the server is in.  But the date is then stored as UTC.  If SharePoint retrieves the date it automatically shifts it back to the server's time zone again.  When you read or write it using Power automate you have to do that translation yourself.  So when you read the date using a flow you need to convert it to the right time zone manually.  To do that you can use AddMinutes() and the TimeZoneOffset() function.

Ah, Thanks for that, I ended up just creating a new column and having that column being a day ahead of the initial column so that when word takes it they both have the same date. Maybe I'll make those changes you suggest in the future, but for now I'll keep it as is.
