Easy way to change the local time zone

[Sanshiro_Cabana]

guys, we need an easy way to change the local time zone!

will be ok if we have the time zone option on our admin panel or something, i don’t wanna search for formulas and stuff like that to use my local time zone

This is one of the most ridiculously lacking features I’ve seen. I’m trying to use airtable to manage activity in a building. The times are only ever in that building’s time zone but there appears to be no way (without some weirdly complex formulas and extra fields) to ensure that dates will be right, especially if one of our team leaves the country.

kuovonne:

If the result is only a full date, the format options can take care of the timezone

@kuovonne what do you mean by this? Is there a way that we can get dates to show up in our local timezone using the format options? I would like to use ISO dates in the Pacific timezone.

[kuovonne]

There are date fields and date/time fields. For date/time fields, you can set the timezone in the field settings.

For date-only formula fields, the time is midnight GMT. Tell the date-only field to use the same time zone for all users to show the date.

This drives me nuts! Another problem is that I've managed to get all of my fields looking good in Airtable, but then I made an automation to send out emails with date/times of events and it takes my corrected times and converts them back into UTZ! I never work on anything outside of EST. Just let me select that once when I make a base and then have me think about it again.
