Hi,
Scenario 1:
I am facing time difference when I am make a DB(postgre) entry via Appian. I am trying to upload an excel from Appian UI with date field column.
The database field name updt_td And crt_ts has default values assigned as current timestamp.
On uploading my excel I am not passing the above two fields in excel. My Appian user is timezone is EST. After writing to table the default value of these 2 columns get updated with difference of 5 hrs.
for EX: If I am triggering at 24-11-2022 10:00 EST in database it shows 24-11-2022 3:30.
this value is generating by default if we give column as null.
Scenario 2:
If in a DB column I pass the value as Now function from my process Model, then also I get the time as mentioned above(increased by 5 hrs).
Scenario 3:
if I normally write an insert query in database then it takes take default value which is correct.
In short when i am uploading via Appian it is taking wrong time.

Appian always stores UTC timestamps to DB. This works as expected. Whenever a timestamp is displayed to the user, Appian will translate it to that users timezone automatically.
Any other possible ways that we can store EST time into Database?
