Hello, We are using a DateTime field for the end of product sales and we put a precise date time. But the default date is in GMT+2. As we are French (GMT+1), we will have to anticipate and calculate to display the real date and I'm afraid that there will sometimes have small misunderstandings into the settings of our product sheets. Do you have a solution for this problem? Is it possible to define the format of the DateTime field in the custom\_type json file? Thank you. Maxime ---

Hi Maxime, This is the default behaviour of the Date field. Dates are localized based on the users' time zone so you'll always see a date relevant to you. So you'll see your timezone in the interface and in the API you'll see the date [GMT](https://greenwichmeantime.com/). ---
