Description (last modified by Gerben Morsink)

When doing:

from django.db.models import DateField, ExpressionWrapper, F

Ticket.objects.annotate(
    notify_date=ExpressionWrapper(
        F('date') - F('notify_before_in_days'), output_field=DateField()))

With on Ticket a modelfield: date = models.DateField() will yield wrong results if notify_before_in_days passes through the month boundary.
E.g. If date is 9th of April and notify_before_in_days = 10, it will yield: 20200399 for notify_date, instead of 20200331.

Database is MySQL 8.0.19-0ubuntu0.19.10.3 - (Ubuntu), Django version is 2.2.10.

Summary: Annotate with ExpressionWrapper gives wrong result on date field → Annotate with ExpressionWrapper gives wrong result on date field.

I think you mixed field types. You cannot subtract an IntegerField from the DateField because MySQL will implicitly cast a date to integer, as a result you'll get 20200308999990.000000. Using DurationField works as expected and returns 2020-02-28 00:00:00.
