Admin -> Server Admin -> Hard Due Date Changes shows me the current ceiling
date entry as "6/20/14 12:00 AM", but when editing it, I only get the date
portion, not the full timestamp. That might be a potential bug in the
staff client interface between how the dojo elements render the selector
and it should also provide a way to alter / set the timestamp.
If you have direct database access, I would check what the actual timestamp
is for your hard due date entry and if it's somehow been set to 18:59:59
for your timezone, then that's something you can adjust. Alternatively, if
the timestamp is still 00:00:00, then it might be a matter of finding out
what timezone your database / server / clients are operating on and seeing
which one is off and needing adjustment.
