> Avoid **Date only** format with **User local** behavior. Users in different time zones may see a different date, which is not intended in most scenarios. When they set a date in a model-driven app, the time portion will automatically be set to midnight of their time zone. This may cause the date to appear a day earlier or later for other users.
