XPath Date/Timezone Conversion
Previously, project-specific properties were stored as standalone time or dates, meaning that no conversion to UTC was required while generating a query for this, after an update was deployed to address a longstanding issue on the Case List Explorer page, that which disallowed a user's input into the query search box from being translated back to UTC from the domains timezone, which had caused cases outside the specified date range to be returned, or cases inside the range to be hidden.
To rectify this, a new update has introduced a new feature that that allows exact matches of special case properties to now work. For example, "last_modified = '2023-06-03'" will return cases that were modified on project timezone's date "2023-06-03". Originally, exact matches of special case properties do not work because in Elastic Search, special case properties are stored as timestamps, meaning "'2023-06-03" won't be an exact match.
Additionally, this change adds a check to apply the timezone conversion to only datetime special case properties, since they are stored in Elastic Search as UTC timestamps.
These expressions can be used in conjunction with the Case Query Language, as a Search Expression, as outlined above.
