UTC Time to UTC Date Time object

Posted on by LMP 680

Hi All,

I have a requirement where I need to convert the UTC time (retrieved from database using REST) to GMT +8. My plan is to convert that UTC time string to a Date Time object then just add +8 hours but when I try to convert it to a UTC Date Time object, it is automatically converted to users timezone local time.

Please advise. Thanks

    Hi LMP,

    Coudl you please share how you are converting the retrieved datetime value. If I am not wrong, using SDK, the datetime returned will always be UTC and saved will always be UTC and in CRM it will always be displayed as users timezone.

    Perhaphs, you can share some more details around you requirement as there could be some other alternative which you can apply example, changing the datetime field to just date or somthing else.

    Hi, if you custom in plugin it is correct you will get utc time. If you custom in javascript, you will get time with user timezone. so you need to execute UtcTimeFromLocalTimeRequest via javascript. You can refer to this https://code.msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/SdkSoapjs-9b51b99a/sourcecode?fileId=113716&pathId=297446329 (I'm not test yet, so you need to investigate this one).
