Stumbled on this and I saw that nobody chimed in... you can see a list of Moment Timezone supported values by checking moment.tz.names().

 

Background Script such as...

 

(function(){  
	
	gs.include('moment.min.js');
    gs.include('moment-timezone-with-data.min.js');

	gs.log(moment.tz.names());

})();

 

I suspect you're going to run into issues with "IST" because does that mean "India Standard Time" or "Irish Standard Time"... two completely different times, and not a standardized/supported time with unique naming. Perhaps if "India Standard Time" is meant by "IST" you'd be better off using "Asia/Kolkata" which is fixed at India Standard Time (UTC+5:30/GMT+5:30) with no daylight savings time.

 

I recognize this post is over a year old, so probably not of use to you anymore... but maybe it will help someone else who stumbles upon this.
