Hello, I have checked my timezone in my profile and my computer timezone is the same. I used set Date Archived to today. It worked fine this afternoon and now, later at night (roughly between 10pm and 12am) the Date Archived is showing tomorrow’s date. Why is this happening?
I don’t have an answer, I’m actually having the same issue and just submitted a ticket to support this morning.
Hello @dmilner59
You’re not doing anything wrong. This usually happens because automations don’t fully rely on your local timezone.
Even if your profile and computer timezones match, automations like “set date to today” run using monday.com’s server time, which is UTC. Late at night, your local day might still be today, but in UTC it’s already tomorrow, so the date flips forward. That’s why you’re seeing it change between roughly 10pm and midnight.
If this date needs to strictly match your local day, a common workaround is to trigger the automation earlier in the day or calculate the date with a formula instead of relying on “today” in the automation.

I’ve also learned that using an automation instead of a workflow normally takes care of this, but I’ve not tested it yet.
