Description bunkem 2023-12-16 21:50:54 UTC

Description:
This is the strangest thing I've seen in Calc.
I have put the date on the first sheet and reference that cell using =Sheet1!cellNo onto the following 3 sheets. (please see attached screenshot)
You will see on the first sheet the date is Dec 15, 2023 (shown as 2023-12-15)
On the right side you see sheet 3 that should have the same date as it is linked to the date in the first sheet.  But that date show 2023-12-23.
I expect that the date should be the same on every sheet.

I've noticed that this happens only on the first time you change the date format on the linked cell.  If you change the format to another date format and then change it back, the proper date is shown.  Strange!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add date on first sheet 
2. Format as YYYY-MM-DD
3. reference the cell with the date on another sheet
4. format as YYYY-MM-DD
5. Check if the date is the same.

Actual Results:
Wrong date is shown.

Expected Results:
Exactly the same date since they are both using the same cell data.

I tried on 24.4.2 release and appears to be OK now.
Please close.

Although this was never reproduced, I am setting this as WFM. The QA Team might want to categorize it differently.
