Hi Everyone,

I have Timestamp field(TS_LOAD) like you can see that below which is coming from a cdt in one of the process model and that Timestamp filed is Text in that cdt

i written an expression to convert that Timestamp field to user's timezone as you can see below

and i passed below expression rule to one of the sub process which having above column to convert as below

But i am getting the data as below highlighted like it is converting  to GMT

Note: System time not in GMT as 2nd picture is coming in PST/PDT based on input and default time also in PST in Admin console.

And I don't have any in between nodes and not manipulating data any where in the process only taking the timestamp filed and used in that expression rule and getting the out put data.

Can anyone help me on this?

    Thanks for that but it not resolved my problem yet 

    we didn't have any time constrains in process level it will take from system time zone.

    Right now, My question was what is default time zone for start process and sub process?

    is start process will only return system configured time zone?

    or sub process(sync/async) will only return GMT time zone by default?

    hi [mention:91cee2d1a2724753a574345e4fc7a6bb:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] the default time zone for the start process and sub process depends on the configuration of your environment and the user's settings.
