Hi Riyas,

Can you give us more details about your requirement, please?

The value is stored in UTC and it's - by default - shown in user's preferred timezone. If you want user's preferred timezone, you're already done. If you want UTC, set TimezonePreference property to NoConversion.

If you want value in some other timezone, you'll need a conversion in code (DateTimeUtil::applyTimeZoneOffset(

That's a completely different question. Please create a new thread about assigning values to CreatedDateTime and don't forget to tell us there what business requirement you're trying to solve by this implementation.

You can't modify the contents of this field. And you shouldn't. The field already contains the correct information.

If you show this field on a form, every user sees it adjusted to their own timezone setting. The system converts it automatically.

Is this your requirement? If not, please try to explain your requirement more clearly. Thanks!

Hi Riyas ahamed F,

You cannot update a system field once the record is been inserted, please try to put the code into the insert() method of table instead of modifiedfield() method.
