How to obtain local time on Webex Connect using the Evaluate Node?

[Gerry O'Rourke]

The following does NOT convert the time from UTC (GMT) Time to UK Time as expected.

startTime = new Date();
startTimeISO = startTime.toISOString();

localTime = new Date(startTime).toLocaleString('en-GB', {timeZone: 'Europe/London'})
1;

Returns the following:

{
    "_nodetid": "61225e66-2e1d-1b9d-2411-28e8a38d708d",
    "startTime": "org.mozilla.javascript.NativeDate@26c7f62d",
    "startTimeISO": "2023-08-02T12:34:37.738Z",
    "localTime": "August 2, 2023 12:34:37 PM GMT",
    "_wferrordesc": "",
    "_wferrorstatus": "",
    "_wfnoderesult": "1",
    "transid": "064f0b44-ac1e-8d46-41cd-015e6dc5949e"
}

Note the localTime variable is set to the SAME time as UTC - i.e. 12:34:37 and NOT 13:34:37 as expected.

Any ideas on how to generate local time using the evaluate node on the Webex Connect Platform?

i.e. by local time in this instance the TimeZone - Europe/London ?

Regards,

Gerry

#1 a big fan of every banana has 5 sides , I have read your website for several years as a guidance for CC stuff!

#2 I had a similar problem, ended up setting up a lambda function in AWS with a pretty basic api, to get operations with dates, it might give you more control, but is not a native solution like the Java script you are using
