Hello,

We have added a Field to an Item Type as "Custom Field" with the selection "Date". Therefore we can select a date from a calendar.

However, when we output this field with a Word export template, the date does not match. (The output date is one day earlier than the defined date in Jama).

    Hi Verena,

    I had a similar issue a while back. See here:

    Velocity Reports: Timezone conversion with dateTool | Support (jamasoftware.com)

    The problem is, that Jama converts the date to UTC time zone when exporting. 

    I had to add a conversion of the time zone to CET in our export template to solve this.
