Additional Information
This is an expected behaviour. This is not caused by entering data with a UTC+0 time zone. The displayed value also depends on the current time zone when viewing the data. When using the 'month-year' appearance, the value stored is equal to 12am (UTC) on the first day of the selected month. The client used to view the data determines how date and time values are displayed. When a date field is displayed in ArcGIS Online, the date is converted from UTC to the local time. This is done by querying the computer and asking for its time zone setting. This can be verified by viewing the data in ArcGIS Online (in current time zone), and then switching the time zone to a very different time zone, and refresh the ArcGIS Online data page. Some of the dates are now displayed as the previous day (from Mar 1st to Feb 28th using your example) if the time shift is sufficiently large. Please refer to ArcGIS Online (https://doc.arcgis.com/en/arcgis-online/manage-data/work-with-date-fields.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_BCC2E215ABAE4997983D065D5CF66FA1) or ArcGIS Enterprise (https://enterprise.arcgis.com/en/portal/latest/use/work-with-date-fields.htm#ESRI_SECTION1_BCC2E215ABAE4997983D065D5CF66FA1) documentation for more information.Steps to Reproduce
