I am using SPD to create a workflow called "Please Revise", which initiates a variable called "Respond By". For the "Respond By" variable: Type is "Date & Time"; default is "Use date & time of item creation as default"; and Display is "Date Only".
When I start the workflow manually, the workflow correctly asks for the "Respond By" date, and presents the calendar icon. I click the icon, the calendar appears, I click a date on the calendar like "01 Apr 2010", the window to the left correctly displays "4/1/2010", and the workflow runs and sends an email with the "Respond By" value.
The problem is that the "Respond By" value does not appear as "01 Apr 2010" or "4/1/2010" at all, despite setting display to "Date Only". Instead -- and incorrectly -- the value sent in the email is always one hour short i.e. 11:00 PM on the prior day, like "3/31/2010 11:00 PM".
OK, it could be one of a million things. But exactly what is the cause and fix?
