How to set time zone to a date/time field in change form?

[Sagar24]

My requirement is to change the time zone of fields on change form (planned start date & planned enddate) based on the time zone selected. How can I achieve this? I have tried this, but I don't think there is any method client side which sets the time zone for a field. I have tried writing the onChange client script on timezone field and whenever it changes I was passing the time zone value and getting the time zone from script include but don't know how to set this to planned start date field?

I would appreciate it if anybody can advise or let me know if this can be done

Hi,

Can you share your scripts here?

Hi Sagar,

Try following server side script in your logic:

gs.print(gs.nowDateTime());

var expectedTimezoneDateTime=new GlideScheduleDateTime().convertTimeZone("CET","GMT");

//You can provide a hardcoded value as well in the function GlideScheduleDateTime("02-02-2022 03:40:67");

var convertedTimeZoneDateTime= new GlideDateTime(expectedTimezoneDateTime);

gs.print(convertedTimeZoneDateTime);

You will have to make the server side call by glide ajax to run above code on server side and then pass the converted value back to client side.

I think this will work for you.

Please mark the answer correct if it helps. 🙂

Hello,

I would like to set the time zone of the fields so that the user can select from the calendar. This is to set the time zone for the calender and I don't want the fields to be populated with that timezone's time. Please advise if there is any way we can set this for a field without populating it

Hello,

Is that a custom time zone field that you have created?  I am still not sure if i got your requirement can you give another example of your use case?
