I think it's a bug. What it's doing is taking the string you gave it and appending zeros to make it represent that date as a UTC date at the very start. Then it converts that date into the local date and truncates the hours.
Then it compares that date against the field date (stored as UTC) converted to a local date truncated by hours. The error is at the very start. By turning your string into the UTC date at the very start of the day BEFORE converting it into a local date, it has effectively moved the comparison date BACK 7 hours. In this case, that means the actual date is 7/19 local time. The UTC field date is still on 7/20. The reason this error hasn't been noticed is because it works fine when the conversion compares against a date field (the majority of use cases) and rarely gives an error for anyone operating near GMT-0. I think the code needs to be altered to assume that the target date is a local date (not UTC date) WHEN a short (non-field) date is used. -- Mark On Friday, July 20, 2018 at 11:51:50 AM UTC-7, Jim Farrand wrote: > > > I have recently created a tiddler, which has created timestamp: > 20180720180051119.
