Hi, Mina,

The problem occurs due to the fact that negative timestamps may be inaccurate when converting the date to a Javascript object.

This is not something controlled by us, here is the result of the Date Object itself:

I am not certain as to why it has been working before, perhaps you had some sort of manual conversion which handled the UNIX dates. You could convert the timestamp to an ISO string and then parse it using the kendo.parseDate() method, this should return the correct value.

  <script>
    let timestampString = "/Date(-62135537400000)/";
    
    // Returns -62135537400000 as a string and converts it to a number.
    let timestamp = +timestampString.substring(timestampString.indexOf('(') + 1, timestampString.indexOf(')'));
    
    let isoDate = new Date(timestamp).toISOString();
    let date = kendo.parseDate(isoDate);
    
    console.log(date)
  </script>
