Why is the task due date showing as tomorrow when it's 2 days out?

[Stephanie Bannister]

I have added tasks to a page using "//" to specify a due date.  The date today is 5/11 and I set the due date to 5/13.  When I publish the page, it shows the due date as "tomorrow".  But it's not tomorrow!  When I change the date to 5/12 and publish, it shows the date as "today".  But it's not today!

Has anyone run into this before and knows how to fix it?  I tried check time zone, date, and language settings on my laptop and my Atlassian account and all are congruent with where I'm located.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Stephanie,

Welcome to Community! It's nice to meet you.

This is such an odd behavior; thank you for reporting it. I've investigated and I discovered that we have an open bug for this:

• CONFCLOUD-66375 Date picker for tasks due date displays the wrong day on the new editor

At this time, there is no known workaround for this, but my advice to you would be to start watching the bug ticket, and click This affects my team. That way, you will be updated when there is any progress or a fix has been released.

Let me know if you have any questions about that. Thanks again for letting us know about the issue.

Take care,

Shannon

Hi Richard,

Thank you for the follow-up on this thread! I had a look at the bug, and there is not currently any information on when a fix will be available. Once you click This affects my team you will be included on all updates in the future, so you can get a better idea of when to expect a fix.

In the meantime, you can have a look at the Atlassian Cloud Bug Fix policy for details on how we prioritize and implement fixes to bugs.

Regards,

Shannon

This is still a problem in 2024.

Another annoying bug with confluence cloud still yet to be fixed. 

Please work on this ASAP.
