Time-Zone Independent Datetime behaviour not functioning as it should!

(1) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Carl Matheson

I have two DateTime fields, one being user local and the other time-zone independent. (Both get populated from the same variable)

Using a c# plugin I send a create request for a date time of 04/01/2019 09:00 am AET which gets converted to the UTC time zone regardless of the field behavior.

Hence, both fields get populate with 03/01/2019 10:00 pm which is incorrect.

    Hi,

    Did you check the values by changing your timezone? Basically in this scenario, if you see the values of both these field from the time zone you have created these field then both will display the same time however if you see the field from a different timexone thenn you will notice that user local is displayed as user local timezone whereas timezone independent displays the old datetime.
