Hi everyone,

I have a question regarding the Auditing Search tool. When we try to search between specific dates, we always need to set the date one day _ahead_ of the actual date we want.  
When we click the Search button, the results return entries from the _previous_ day, and both the start and end dates automatically shift backward as well.

If we continue clicking the Search button, the dates keep moving back day by day.

Is this expected behavior, or could it indicate a misconfiguration in Ignition?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Probably the datetime picker component:

> [@\[IGN-6087\] DateTime Picker is a day behind selection](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ign-6087-datetime-picker-is-a-day-behind-selection/74352):
>
> [Datepickerissue] I have noticed what seems to be a new bug with the DatePicker component. I know there is a known issue where the DatePicker is a day behind on the first selection but this new issue seems to be every selection I make. Has anybody else had this issue? I know I could use some scripting to manually fix this but I don't want to do that if this is an issue that is going to be fixed.

Yes! That's probably the problem, but it hasn't been resolved yet. Thank you @pturmel .

Just to clarify, in my case, the problem doesn't occur when I select the date in the picker (the date can be selected correctly), but rather when I click the audit search button; the date changes with each click.

You'll probably have to dig into the scripts to find it.

Sorry, which script? I mean, the tool I'm using is a native feature of the gateway page: Configuration → Security → Audit @ view log. Is there a script I can use for this?

Hmmm. I thought this was an Exchange Resource. No, you should report this as a bug.
