Issue

When using the embedded relative date filter "Today" in Flow Editing Window on Tableau Cloud like below, the filter always return a Today Date in UTC Time Zone, even if We are using non UTC time zone.

For example, we use JST time zone and when we open the flow in Flow Editing Window and apply the embedded relative date filter "Today" to a date type field between 0:00 AM ~ 9:00AM JST, the filter returns the yesterday date as "Today".
