I have a backend returning a date in a JSON string attribute as “2025-03-31T00:00:00Z”. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/e/eddeb52d85b152c0db1dc1fe88580b8dde7bcee1.png) When I use the Date component, it forces the timezone to use my local timezone (GMT-3). ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/0/02418c819938ef5e24ac8f56dd547f0db42b221e.png) **Is there a better way for me to display this in the DD/MM/YYYY format without changing the day to a day before (changed by the timezone)?** That value comes initially from WeWeb. I get it from a date & time picker (with time disabled), which then makes a input value as “yyyy-mm-dd” available to me. When sending the date from weweb to the backend, I create a new Date() and then convert it to a ISO string. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/weweb/original/2X/3/334dc1665165475ae398d985b6b6ddc75e6492c0.png) I’m open to any suggestion from the community. Separate question: I don’t see the Date utils functions anymore. **Is there a way for me to have access to the dayjs instance that is already created in the app?** Or do I need to import something else to control the date conversion better?
