Date Field not displaying correctly with 17.1

Question

We just had our Development environment upgraded to 17.1 and noticed that the Date Picker field is different. In Tempo – the drop down calendar doesn’t display to allow the user to pick a date. The user has to manually enter it. However, the SAIL form created for this input form does show the date picker when in the interface view. Why is that? See attached.

@vinods129 - Yes - we resolved our date picker field issue. It turns out that there is a bug associated with the timezone setting. In the International Settings option of the System tab, we had our environments set to (UTC-6:00) Central Time (CST). Evidently there is a conflict with that setting. Once we changed it to (UTC-6:00) Central Time (America/Chicago) - the date field picker worked as expected. Appian is aware of this bug and created an internal ticket (AN-82746) for it. Perhaps there are other timezone conflicts but if you are on Central Time - try picking the one associated with (America/Chicago).
