Description Mike Kaganski 2025-09-10 12:01:37 UTC
This is one of three related issues in Data to Text feature, all caused by commit 5b808448dc79e996efa7cb5082145d4e5803daa6, similar to bug 168252 - but all use different code paths, so I split them, to allow test each separately.

1. Register a database using a spreadsheet (ODS) with a date column.
2. Create a text document.
3. View -> Data Sources; expand the ODS datasource, and select its table with the data column.
4. Select a row in the right-hand table in the datasources panel
5. Click [Data to Text] button on the panel's toolbar.
6. Select "Fields" at the top; select the date column name in the Database columns list, and press [ > ] button, then press [OK].

=> the inserted field shows +2 days.
(Updating fields will fix the shown date after the fix to bug 168252).
