I’ve been having difficulty changing the date directly in the database.

I’ve been having difficulty changing the date directly in the database.

This is a known time zone issue — the date field stores 2026-03-11, but the Base44 editor interprets it as UTC and displays March 10th (the previous day) due to the Brazilian time zone offset (UTC-3).

Unfortunately, this records editor is native to the Base44 platform (the backoffice/dashboard panel) — it’s not something I can modify through the app’s code. This behavior occurs because the format: "date" field is internally treated by the editor as a UTC datetime.

What I can confirm is that the data in the database is correct (2026-03-11). The display as "March 10th" is just a visual bug in the platform’s editor.

Options:

  • Ignore the visual discrepancy in the editor — the actual data is correct, and your app displays it properly.

  • Report the bug to Base44 support so they can fix the records editor.

  • If you need to edit dates frequently, I can create an editing screen within your app where dates will display correctly in pt-BR.

Finally, could you please let me know if there is any possibility of implementing an improvement on the Base44 platform to handle date fields without this time zone issue?
