# **Summary**
  
Incorrect day is displayed when selecting in the DateTime Input

# **Steps to Reproduce**

1. Add a DateTime Input component on the view
2. Add a 'date' with empty value on the custom property
3. Bind the DateTime Input component's value to the date custom property
4. Toggle Preview mode
5. Select a date in the DateTime Input (the resulting date is -1 day of the selected date)

DateTime Input component will then function properly after a date is selected (or after step 5 above).

# **Expected Results**
  
DateTime Input date result should always be the same with the selected date/time on the component.

# **Actual Results**

I've tried to recreate this on 8.1.25 - not successful. Maybe it was fixed.

Using 8.1.18 as depicted above, but I was also unable to reproduce this error. I also search the 2022 and 2023 change logs, and there was no mention of this.

I believe you are running into a known bug that occurs in specific timezones. Could you try testing with a timezone outside of the `UTC - 6:00 to UTC + 14:00` range? If that works, then it confirms you're running into this bug.

I think i'm running into this bug in v8.1.47, 2 years later... will it be fixed? Seems kinda important
