Timezones messing up Workflow

creating date record in Bubble is easy. Creating “timezone aware” date record in Bubble is very tricky. Dates/times are a complicated & messy data item to work with when timezones are a factor. Right now I’m going to assume your level of date/times inside Bubble is low; if that is mistaken just me know.

#1 recommendation. read these 2 specific posts.
Date and Time data structuring - #6 by keith and
Date and Time data structuring - #7 by jon2
I note that user “Keith” is my #1 recommendation for understanding date/time. He has many posts on dates in forum.

FYI I had a similar timezone date/time issue back in November & I went on a 5 week deep dive on dates. The good news is using a plug in I was able to solve my issue. But before I knew which plug in to buy; I had to know dates really well. And that took me time to figure out all the concepts etc.

it’s worth you knowing about these plugins:
Free: Browser Timezone and Locale Plugin | Bubble

Paid: Parallels: Date/Range Transformer Plugin | Bubble

once you absorbed everything to best of your ability, let me know if I can help more. There are many forum posts on dates/times so trust me…this is well discussed area that many people have thoughts on/advice to offer. good luck!
