Why Timestamp Field on RTC shows different data as per location? How to Resolve?
We have a custom configuration done for a project on RTC and an altogether new work item is introduced. now we experience different issue with Date fields in RTC. for example. date filled by me from India location is 20th June in certain timestamp field. and someone from US is checking the data. he sees date filled as 19th June. and date filled by him as 21st June at US, I see that as 23rd June at India. I believe this is because of time zone difference however would like to know how do we handle this and seek assistance in resolving issue.
I have done a detailed test. Server is located at San Hose - US with same time zone.

One answer
I believe the timestamp is shifted based on the timezone reported by the browser, and not related to the Work Location settings.
It also depends on whether the timestamp attribute includes the time portion. If not, 12:00am is assigned (a timestamp always has date and time). If you want a constant date value across different regions, I suggest you use a String value instead. |
