Hi,  
I am having a problem with date fields in the "Discover" module

Specifically I have a field with the following definition:  
"checkIn": {  
"type": "date"  
}

Additionally I have the following settings:  
. Timezone for date formatting "-\> Browser ((GMT-3)  
. Format of checkIn fields set to "DD-MM-YYYY"

The problem is that I have a great discrepancy in the display / filtering of that field. Specifically:

In Table -\> checkIn = 03-09-2020  
In Json -\> checkIn = 2020-03-10  
In filter (in order to match the document)-\> checkIn = 2020-03-09

Can you see the problem?  
How can I solve it?

Thanks in advance,  
Pablo

Kibana version:  
7.4

One more info ... the query that composes for ElasticSearch has the following form:  
{  
"checkIn": {  
"gte": "2020-03-09",  
"lte": "2020-03-09",  
"time\_zone": "America/Buenos\_Aires"  
}  
}

If I understand your question, you've set the "date format" for the `checkIn` field to "DD-MM-YYYY", but you aren't seeing this format used consistently within Kibana? Would you mind providing screen-shots of the specific instances where you're seeing this date format ignored?
