Problem with DatePicker and saving back to SharePoint List

[Anonymous]

Hi all,

Seem to have come across a bug with the DatePicker and saving back to SharePoint lists. I'm using PowerApps Studio version 2.0.650. Further Details below:

• Attempting to Patch a record to SharePoint Online List with a Date column.
• If the column is set to "Date Only", and i simply use the elementName.SelectedDate property to patch back, consistently saving back as 1 day before the selected date.
• However, if I set the column to be "Date and Time", and then patch with elementName.SelectedDate+Time(0,0,0) it will save to the correct date with a time stamp of 12:00am.
  • I'm trying to use this is as a workaround where possible, however, it's wrecking havoc on filtering by date functions throughout a bunch of apps.

Anyone else coming across a similar issue? What are your workarounds? or is this a bug at Microsoft's end?

Hi @Anonymous,

Per my testing, DatePicker controls works at my side.

There used to be TimeZone issues when saving date value into SharePoint List, which I think should be fixed in PowerApps version 2.0.650.

Please verify the TimeZone settings under your SharePoint Site settings-> Regional settings, make sure the time zone is set to the same Local Time Zone as your machine.

There is no need to take use of timezoneoffset function here.

Let me know if this works for you.

Regards,

Michael

Hi @v-micsh-msft, looks like the bug sorted itself out. Hadn't changed anything, after the weekend I tested my functions again, patching a selected date and time (without timeoffset) now saves it correctly.
