date time entry in UI changes after submit
I have a date time UI field with underlying property date time field. When the times change. Could it be a time zone adjustment ? If yes, where would I check for this, if not what else could it be?
Thanks

Hi Jeffrey,
When you say time change, is it getting changed on UI itself or on clipboard?
One possibility of property value change on submit could be some post processing action altering the property.
Try tracing the submit action to check where the property value is getting changed.
For testing, configure another property for the date field. Check if it works fine.
Thanks.

Update:
Noticed it was subtracting 5 1/2 hours each time submitted. Which confirmed my suspicion it was timezone related. My operator ID had IST, changed to EST where I am located. Seems to have rectified the issue.
Also I noticed the time on the clipboard gets converted to GMT. I could not find a way to select a time zone using the date picker. So since I am in EST and I want to enter times in PST, I have to change locale settings either in UI-->Application Readiness-->Localization--> Locale when entering the time or I can temporarily update the timezone on my Operator ID ...
Note: if Pega 7.4 or earlier no Application Readiness in menu structure
