Current DateTime in User's timezone
I'm wrestling a bit with setting a custom field of type datetime to the current time in the user's timezone. I'm trying to get this in a server-side script.
The following code gives me the time in the server's time zone.
var startTime= nlapiDateToString(new Date(), 'datetimetz') record.setFieldValue('custbody_currenttime', startTime);I can get the user's time zone via a preference, but that alone isn't very helpful, because it just gives me "America/New_York" - I would need the timezone offset to adjust the server time (which can change based on DST).
I've tried a slew of other approaches. The nlapi's for converting a string to date and date to string seem to ignore the timezone.
