I have tried everything i know to get this to work:
we have a date field that is defaulted to today() or user can select what date they want. it displays great, saves to the DB correctly.
But when it is pulled back from the DB it is 2 days off and will display 2 days off is there anything that can get this to display with the original date. Code Example below: And this is a DATE field not a DateTime. Thanks in Advance

Users Input field
a!dateField(
label: "Effective Date",
labelPosition: "ADJACENT",
required: true,
readOnly: false,
value: if(rule!APN_isBlank(ri!LTR_Processing_Cdt.effectiveDate),today(),ri!LTR_Processing_Cdt.effectiveDate),
saveInto: ri!LTR_Processing_Cdt.effectiveDate,
validations: if(
          ri!LTR_Processing_Cdt.effectiveDate > today(),
          "Date entered must be less than today",
          if(
           ri!LTR_Processing_Cdt.effectiveDate < today() - 180,
           "Date entered must be greater then the past 6 months",
           null
          )
)

Is your CDT field "Effective date" a date-time field?

I am assuming that you are saving as Date Time:

todate function convert the input date time to GMT and hence you are able to view the different date then inputted.

Use now() function and then wrap it in text function with the desired date format, that can be sent to the todate function.
Example : todate(text(now(),"mm/dd/yyyy")) will provide an output as 24/12/2015

Display the cdt values on screen to cross check the date field is fetching properly from DB. If it retries correctly. Then try null check.
Your code looks good to me. Please display and cross veryfy

We have figured out that it is may be upgrade issue to 7.11 it looks good when user selects date it saves to the DB correctly. But when you pull it back from the DB it is 2 days off which is making it display 2 days off.
