Hi Everyone,

I have a situation, i want to show the a constant timezone to every user no matter user is from USA, Canada or india, every user should see a constant date and time ,

No matter user changes his timezone in appian setting , timzzone should be remain same, changes in timezone in appian setting should not impact interface setted timezone,

For exmaple:

In the I created a record at 13 Sept 2024 12:11 AM IST ,

but i want to show on the inferface 12 Sept 2024 11:41 PDT,

i implement a code when i set my timezone in appian setting as India Standard Time (IST) but when i change my time to PST in appian setting it impacts on interface as well 

text(
todatetime(
gmt(
text(
gmt(fv!row.createdOn, "750"),
"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM"
),
)
),
"MM/dd/YYYY HH:MM AM/PM"
)

a!localVariables(
local!time:now(),
text(gmt(local!time),"mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM"
)
)

Easter Time - 9/16/2024 2:45 PM EDT

Indian Standard Time - 9/16/2024 2:45 PM GMT+05:30

What do you mean by this? You mean in the designer?

anyway the below code should resolve your UI level issue

text(local(gmt(ri!date), "PST"), "mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM")

    There will be a setting in admin console called internationalization. You can select the timezone and select the always override user's selected time zone
