How to change time zone in Confiforms?

[Aster]

Hello community!

I am using a virtual function in Confiforms (https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Virtual+functions) to change the time format shown in TableView. It works well when using "created.formatDate(yyyy-MM-dd 'at' HH:mm z)" in the Field name. However, if I would like to change the time zone and set the field name as "created.formatDate(yyyy-MM-dd 'at' HH:mm z, UTC), it just became 13 digits numbers.

Could someone show me how to change the time zone in Confiforms? Thanks!

with NO time zone specified:

Hi @Aster 

You can use convertDate function to convert dates

I've tried the convertDate function, but got the other series of weird numbers...

btw, the field I'd like to use here is a reserved/internal field according to the following warning I got when trying to add a field definition in the form.

It works fine for me as you can see - what ConfiForms version are you using?

As for the "reserved field name" error - nothing much to add. It is indeed a system field that every record has in ConfiForms and you cannot have your field with the name reserved for system (metadata) fields - https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Documentation

How do I know what ConfiForms version I am using?

Thank you. I found it. It's version: 3.3.6.

Hi

Please consider updating the plugin, as there was a fix to this function specifically in 3.5.1 (was ignoring the timezone parameter)
