Hi Guys

I need to save a person's date of birth to the appian business database. A date of birth should be independant of timezone, yet appian show the date of birth field with the timezone adjustement on the UI. How do i get around this issue where I just want to save and display the date regardless of the timezone my user is in?

@ pieterk, i believe your variable/CDT-field/rule-input which holds DOB is of type DateTime, that's why it shows in time zone format. if it is only Date type No issues with timezone. Or else you can convert it to todate()

ri!DOBWithTimeZone,
a!save(
ri!DOB,
todate(
ri!DOBWithTimeZone
)
)
}

@pieterk: ri!DOB is of type date and ri!DOBWithTimeZone is of type Date and Time.
