Sanity Date Schema - How to Set a Date for a Document

6 replies
Last updated: Apr 6, 2021
Hey all~A little strange thing... I am using the snaity date schema type to set the date for one of my documents... When I type it a date (yyyy-mm-dd) or use the calendar UI date picker... it always sets it to the day before. If i type or select 2021-03-09 then the date showing on my screen in the field would be 2021-03-08? Strange... here are my sanity versions that I am using

@sanity/cli             2.7.1 (up to date)
@sanity/base            2.7.1 (up to date)

You think this is a timezone issue?

maybe... i'm in the EDT i know that used to have to adjust it when i get the date out of sanity due to the time difference...

Pretty sure they updated the date picker the other day. If it's a bug they now ask people to submit an issue to the GitHub repo.
