how usertimezone works
I have a requirement to convert date to text in this format yyyy-MM-dd.
First i used this function
datetext(local!date,"yyyy-MM-dd). but it didnt work for all users time zone. so i handled timezone by adding GMT function ie
datetext(gmt(local!date,usertimezone(loggedinuser()),"yyyy-MM-dd)
This time it worked for all time zone.
But when i try to execute in the script task in process model, date is coming as -1 day. I also verified override with user time zone setting in PM is already checked.
Could you someone explain why it is not working. I am attaching snapshot
1. Admin console
2. my timezone setting
3. expression rule . I am getting expected result in expression rule with different time zone.
4. PM timezone setting
5. result in PM script task when above expression rule is executed.
Anyway, i was able to find out simplest function ie text (local!date,"yyyy-MM-dd).
