Using User Local Date fields to populate Date Only Fields in Cloud Flows / Processes

(2) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 16

We are planning to change the behavior of several DateTime fields from “User Local” to “Date Only.” Our timezone is CET (UTC+1 or UTC+2, depending on the time of year). After converting the field behavior, we need to ensure the dates reflect CET.

Additionally, we need to address our processes and cloud flows that populate “Date Only” fields using “User Local” fields (e.g., converting the “Created On” field to a “Date Only” field). Do we need to manually update each process and cloud flow to handle this conversion, or is there a more efficient method?

We are particularly concerned about records created at times like 23:00 UTC on 14/11/2024, which will be 15/11/2024 in CET.

    Thanks for the reply Ian, though, should we cater for the conversions in each of our processes, cloud flows, workflows, plugins etc when populating a Date Only Field using a User Local field?

    User time zone is in User Setting table. That gives the time zone which the time shift can be looked up and used to adjust to the desired time zone which you can also look up so that you don't have daylight saving issues.
