Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Create a new todo list item. Integration is google tasks.
2. Edit and add a date.
3. Save the date.
4. Now the date will be the day before the one that was selected.

did a test and the call_service showed the correct date entered when saved. Set the date to 30/08/2024.
In the Todo list after saving it shows 29/08/2024.

Also if I set the date to say 31/08/2024 and save it. It will appear as 30/08/2024. If I then edit again and just save it and not change the date it will then show 29/08/2024.

I am not able to reproduce this in the UI following the steps you said. I suspect this may be something related to timezones, but I can't tell.

(1) Can you tell me a little more simply the steps to reproduce with a service call? Your words don't appear to match the service call sent below.
(2) Can you capture debug logs for Google Tasks? https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/configuration/troubleshooting/#debug-logs-and-diagnostics
(3) What timezone is home assistant set to?

[markusg1234]

I will be able to capture the logs tomorrow.

I first logged the issue under frontend issues and the service call was suggested.
home-assistant/frontend#21803

The issue appears on my installation and on a friends.

The time zone is set to (GMT+10:30) Central Time -Adelaide.

Forgot to follow up on this one. Only logs on each save were:

On each save the date changes to the day before.

Date is set to 10/12/2024
Save task
Date now is 09/12/2024
Save task
Date now is 08/12/2024

1. Sorry, I cannot help here. I'm not the original poster and I don't quite get what I would have to do. I have the problem when creating to-do items manually from the HA web-interface. I add an entry by adding a title, then click + to add it. Then I select the new item and add a due date by clicking the small calendar icon on the right of the field. Then the text string for the correct date is shown in the text-field. Then I click save. Then in the overview the wrong date is shown. Also when opening the entry again it shows the wrong date in the text-field.
   (2) Done. The file is 45 MB in size and I'm not sure whether it contains any sensitive data. Also the file type is not supported for uploading: "We don’t support that file type.

ok thanks, you're right google tasks is not configured correctly for debug logging. I will try to reproduce this myself by changing my timezone.

I think the issue is the timezone may be getting dropped in the round trip between google and home assistant so the timezone distance away from UTC is what may impact this. e.g. if you truncate my timezone at midnight i still get the same day, but not GMT+10 etc

[allenporter]

I was able to reproduce the issue, and have a fix that appears to work. Thank you for the report.
