[New feature] Advanced options, including advanced timezone controls

Thanks for elaborating! Today there are technical limitations where the callers to the dynamically specified timezone elsewhere on the page may not update in realtime. I’d recommend submitting an idea to the Ideaboard, so we can track interest in this idea and justify the extent of investment required.

Awesome!

@grace.hong Somewhat confused by this language.

Does this override only affect the actions that take place in the triggered workflow, or is this a filter that causes changes in time zones other than the selected time zone to be ignored? The way it is written seems to imply the latter, but I don’t think that’s actually what it is doing.

Can you provide clarification?

@grace.hong thank you thank you thank you for bringing this back. The biggest issue I find with Bubble dates is saving a date that I don’t care what the time is and the timezone messes things up (Ex. creating a calendar). Statically choosing 1 time zone for everything makes it so some calendar dates saved on the east cast don’t show as the next day for west coast users :raised_hands:

Interested to hear why this was removed as an experimental feature then suddenly added as a native feature.

@grace.hong Thanks for working with @zoe1 & @manasi on returning this advanced feature back.
If not complicated, could you add the dynamic time zone selection to the Page level?

@aj11 The time zone selection allows you to override the timezone for the actions in this event, and does not act as a filter.

@bubblealex Please find more details here: New features to override timezones - #60 by grace.hong

@trvry Unfortunately this requires a decent amount of technical work. See more context here: [New feature] Advanced options, including advanced timezone controls - #23 by grace.hong

Hi Grace. Just FYI, the override feature for API workflows is completely broken at the moment and does not change the “Current Workflow’s Timezone” for any date operations in the workflow. I’m submitting a bug report.

@grace.hong any update on the bug fix for the above mentioned dynamic time zone issues, and the override API featured mentioned?

A fix was pushed and it seems to be working for me, is it not for you?

@grace.hong Is there any information on the format for dynamic time zones? I am using a dynamic timezone on elements in my app but it isn’t working. I can’t seem to find any info in the docs on what it is supposed to be.

For example I am setting ET as “Eastern Time Zone (ET)”
No idea if there is a specific rule for this and what it should be…

It should be formatted in any format for the choices displayed when you select Static choice!
