Suitescript - grab current user's NetSuite timezone
Hello,
I am looking for a way to grab the current user's NetSuite timezone preference from a server-side Suitescript.
Thanks to sfisher in another thread (https://usergroup.netsuite.com/users/showthread.php?t=19480), I am able to grab the user's timezone preference using this:
contextObj.getSetting('PREFERENCE','TIMEZONE');
However, this is only returning the text (America/New_york for example) and not giving me information that can be used to translate the date that the user has entered in the date field.
Here is some background:
I have an afterSubmiit function that pulls the date and time from the recently submitted 'calendarevent' record to then create a Microsoft Livemeeting for that event.
