How to get DateTime fields on forms to display the user's timezone?

A request from members in my organization involves displaying the timezone in the date time fields on our forms. While I could just have the label be dynamically generated by the user's timezone, it would be easier to just go and have it in the field itself.   Is there a way to do this? I know emailing the data shows timezone, but I would like it on the SN frontend as well.

I have the same question. After searching, I'm starting to think that the only option is to change the field from type GDT to a string and pass it the ISO standard time format with the time zone on the end like - 0400 or -04:00. It is for historical purposes so we do not want it changing per users settings and we do not want UTC.
