The RFS date which is saved via the dashboard is different than the DateTime object in the database.
Example:
MainOne subsea cable system
RFS date is 2010 July.
The front end seems to send a timestamp based on the user's local time/timezone (following tested on 5/12/2022):
The date stored in the back end (database) is: 2010-06-30T22:00:00.000+00:00
Expected result in the back end (database) would be: 2010-07-01T00:00:00.000+00:00
The responsible class seems to convert the user's local time to UTC: class/Cable.js#L274
Question is: should the front end submit a datetime object? A simple string with valid RFS dates be enough. Another possible work around would be to let the front end submit UTC only and always reset the hours, minutes and seconds to 00 because these are not needed/relevant.
Note:
Software used to analyse the dataset assumes the timestamps are to be in UTC. To read the database a MongoDB\BSON\UTCDateTime object is used.
The above mentioned time stamp of the database would therefor give an error during analysis because the software concludes the RFS date is
