New Issue w/ Forms - Default Date Values are getting messed up?
Hello,
For about a month or so I've been noticing that any default value dates entered into a smartsheet form are getting converted into something completely different. For instance, I have entered 2/27/2023 for today (screenshot 1)
But when I go to the spreadsheet, it's been changed to June 2 2023.
Other times it's been completely random, like some date in 2025.
This has been occurring across multiple sheets. Any fixes? Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks.

How is the date set on the column in the sheet?

I hope you're well and safe!
Have you checked the Activity Log and Cell History for clues?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Thanks for the suggestions folks :) The column type is set to Date, and has been the same format across sheets I've used for a few months now (I just copy a new sheet as needed).
As for the activity log, the dates are being entered as the incorrect date:
The most recent second activity is me correcting the date entry.
Thanks!
