Flow Designer Built in Date Convert to String formats are changing time/date in ouput

[litchick10]

I have a date field on the Service Catalog form. In the flow designer, I am using the built in "Date to String" functionality (see below). 

The Problem is that date conversion adds 7 hours. Why and how should I fix (subtract time)?

Hi,

The runtime Date/Time values are not localized and appear in the UTC time zone:

Work around was to subtract 1 second from the time (if you subtract 7 hours, it changes to 7 hrs before the field time) then convert to string.
