Date parameter in Custom plugin
Hi,
I noticed that when using the date parameter in the custom plugin, the actual value does not get reflected in the backend.
Values provided from frontend: (Default Format: mm/dd/YYYY)
"startDate": "5/8/2020"
"endDate": "6/8/2020"
Values received on backend:
Dataset Config: {'startDate': '2020-05-07T18:30:00.000Z', 'endDate': '2020-06-07T18:30:00.000Z', 'login_preset': {'domain': 'X', 'username': 'X', 'password': 'X'}}
Apparently, it shifts the date to one day behind. Why is it so?

If so here is another thread where we are discussing a similar situation.https://community.dataiku.com/t5/General-Discussion/Understand-datePart-formula/m-p/9468
You might look at passing a time zone from the front end to the backend.

Hi @piyushk
,Just wondering, were you able to get this to work ?
I have a similar issue where the date parameter automatically adjusts with the webusers timezone.
