I have a suspect I’m going to feel pretty stupid here.
Describe the problem/error/question
I have a UTC string that I want to convert to local date-time.
The string looks like this: “2025-02-26T23:30:00Z”
The JavaScript I wrote for the code node would not convert it. The conversion kept coming back as UTC.
After struggling for a couple hours, one question is this: Is the code executing from the EU at Zulu?
I finally deleted the code and simply did a Date.now and it came back as UTC timezone. So it appears to be the case (I’m in PST).
My workflow option settings are set to America/Los Angeles.
I did a direct conversion to PST for now but I may not always be in that timezone. I guess that the workflows are run from a fixed location(?) so how are others handling this?
I noticed that the Date-Time node is able to get a local date-time but JavaScript doesn’t seem to care.
What is the error message (if any)?
None
Please share your workflow
The issue is not a workflow problem I have JavaScript running in a code node.
(Select the nodes on your canvas and use the keyboard shortcuts CMD+C/CTRL+C and CMD+V/CTRL+V to copy and paste the workflow.)
Share the output returned by the last node
