Man you SAVED my hours, it's so annoying honestly, wonder why don't they just save a timestamp and thats all

[@amitshrestha6833]

However, the hour and minutes are sitll not the local time as shown in firestore document

You don't need to do all of this, the timestamp has a method on it .toDate() it will then become a JS Date().

[@greyes11]

const manipulateDate = (timestamp) => { const unixTimestamp = (timestamp.seconds + timestamp.nanoseconds * 10**-9) * 1000; return new Date(unixTimestamp); };

You could use moment for that docs.appsmith.com/core-concepts/writing-code/ext-libraries#moment
