Hi. I am displaying the date time field on UI which is defaulted to previous day 00:00. But due to BST change my date time is getting displayed 1 hour ahead 01:00. I can wrap my datetime in gmt() function and get the desired result but this will force me to change it again when BST ends. Is there a better way to handle this?

Code Snippet:
Displaying date time using - todatetime(today() - 1) - results as dd/mm/yyyy 00:00 (dd/mm/yyyy 01:00 after daylight saving)
Fixed this using gmt () - gmt(todatetime(today() - 1)) - results as dd/mm/yyyy 00:00 ( do I have to change the code when daylight savings ends?)

@Sean: I am not fetching the value from database neither storing it. I am having an interface where I am displaying the Start Date Time field defaulted to previous day. Before BST the code was working fine but after that it is showing 1 hour ahead time. Hope this will help
