ArcGIS Pro should allow Historical Moments Query for local Time Zone

Requesting the ability for Historic Moments Query in ArcGIS Pro to support specifying queries in local time zone rather than only UTC, to improve usability, accuracy, and reduce potential timestamp conversion errors for users working in local operational contexts.

@Yanin

would you mind provide some screenshots/sample data to help us understand this issue?

That said, please note as of ArcGIS Pro 3.5, while working directly with datasets (e.g. file gdb, enterprise databases etc.), date/time values don't get transformed to UTC, instead they are passing in 'un-timezone-aware' way (aka AS-IS).

It is only when you are using map or feature services, values get transformed to UTC. But you can overcome that by setting the Preferred Time Zone in your service.
