How to prevent the date picker from changing the time depending on the user's time zone?

I have users from all types of time zones. In my application, I am using the date picker.

The issue is that when making a record using the date and time using this element, it is changing the time. For example: the user who lives in Fiji made a record with the date 06/13 at 8:30 am. However, depending on where the user is viewing this record, this time changes. How can I resolve this?

Use a standardised time throughout the app (i.e. UTC)

I don’t know if I get it. Are you talking about defining a specific time zone for everyone? The problem with this approach is that my app has an option for travel requests and when doing so, the person approving that trip has to see the user’s exact time and date. Would this have any impact at this point?

Add a text field to the User object for timezone, populate that timezone with the static selection you’d want for the User (believe bubble has documentation on the exact string to use here), then for “Time zone selection”, use “Dynamic” and set that to Current User’s “timezone” (or whatever you named the field)
