Submission Link gives incorrect time form was submitted

Platform discussions
1

I have a board called Employee Requests.

If someone looks at the Table view of this board, there is a column called Submission Link. The Submission Link field has a clickable URL which brings up a summary of the request and allows you to export it to PDF.

The board also has a Date Created field so that we know when these requests are submitted.

In the form settings, we have it Date field set to use “Today as the default date” and also selected the “Include Time” setting. By having this set, it would automatically populate the date field based on the date and time that the form was submitted.

We have noticed over the last couple of days that all of the times shown in the Submission Link view now show the time as 20:00. The date still looks in tact, but this has impacted all of our boards that have this setting. We know that people submit requests at different times throughout the day. Does anyone know what happened to change all of these submission times to the same clock time? Does this have anything to do with the latest Form update that was released?

Oh boy! That’s frustrating…I hope one of these work arounds might work?

  • Check your account timezone settings:
    • Admin → General → Location & Time Zone.
    • If your timezone is correct, the 20:00 default is not a configuration error.
  • Switch the Date column behavior temporarily:
    • Turn off “Today as default date” and have users manually select the date/time to verify if submissions save the correct timestamp.
  • Report this to Monday Support (highly recommended):
    • Include the screenshots you’ve provided.
    • Mention that the bug appeared after the most recent Forms update.

Workaround (Until Fixed)

  1. Add a Creation Log column to the board.
  • This automatically logs the exact date and time an item was created.
  1. Use that column in your Submission Link summary or in your PDF export to get the real timestamp.
  2. Once Monday resolves the bug, you can switch back to using the Date column with auto-time.

I will try your suggestion sometime this week and let you know what happens. Thanks!
