Hello, I'm trying to calculate a custom string from a date and time using the now() function. This gives my the local time, which is fine, kinda. What I need to know is the timezone of this local time, or the zulu time. I'm using the info found at:
Dates and Time in Survey123 for ArcGIS
It would be great if there was a %timezone or something that returned the UTC offset but there isn't. Is there any way to calculate this? I'm wondering if it could be calculated out of a decimal date or something, but I'm limited to what I can use as a calculation in Survey123.
My goal is to write a military date-time group, EXAMPLE: 091630Z JUL 11 represents 1630 UTC on 9 July 2011. There is more to my final formatting than that though, saving it as a date/time object won't help.
Thanks!
Hi Joseph,
We do not currently have a property or parameter to return the UTC offset or timezone with a date/time question or in a string as part of a calculation. We have an open enhancement request to support UTC offset parameters and I have added your comments to the issue.
Regards,
Phil.
