Face value date time on DatePicker to server

[stefano.menci]

Hi Paul,
I read your description, but I still don’t understand where is the problem.

1. If the time you are storing is the time of the request, then the server knows what time it is in UTC, so the timezone is not a factor here.
   If the time comes from an Anvil client or an Anvil uplink, then the timestamp comes with a timezone and it is automatically converted to UTC when it arrives to the server, so the timezone is not a factor either.
   If the time comes from another source, without timezone, then that is a problem to fix by adding the timezone awareness.

2. Time objects sent to the client are converted to the client timezone and everything looks perfect.

4, 5, 6. What problems are you getting?

I often can no longer keep track of which objects I calculated locally vs on the server

You shouldn’t keep track. You know that the timestamps on the server are always in UTC and on the client on the local timezone.

Then I read the rest of your post and I don’t understand your scenario.

Can you describe an example scenario of what happens and what is your expectation?
