What is a one sentence summary of your feature request?
The time zone should not impact the day a contract or a position starts/ends
Please describe your idea in detail. What is your problem, why do you feel this idea is the best solution, etc.
Our problem is that we have our support team in both France and Portugal. These 2 countries have different time zones. When creating an employee we have the contract and position dates to fullfill and they are different depending on whether we are in France or Portugal. For example, a contract that starts on the 01/01 at midnight will appear in the other country as 31/12 at 23h. These dates should be unchanged and shouldn’t change depending on the country we are in. Attached the images of the same contract in France and Portugal.
How do you currently solve the challenges you have by not having this feature?
We have no way to workaround this issue, we have to keep in mind who performed the action so we understand the date and time
Upload any supporting images that you think should be considered in this idea.

Hello @MagdaEncarnacao
I think this was already added with the resent updates.
To set the format of that property to time zone neutral.
I will try to find.
Hello @kate.flemo,
Was the property format “Date only (time zone neutral)” added in the 7.0 version? I don’t see it in the change log.
I can’t find it in the documentation either. Should it be somewhere in the list here or is it in a different location in the docs?

Hi Kamil,
Thanks for the quick reply. I think it was added for the date of birth, so there’s no time involved—just the dates. This would cause issues for us when disabling an account, for example at the end of the workday instead of early in the morning.
Hello Magda,
I don’t remember exactly where and I couldn’t find it, but I recall there was an option in the UI to select a time alongside a date. Maybe I’m remembering it from the API.
As a workaround, you could try creating two separate creation workflows: one for the Portuguese team and one for the French team.
For the Portuguese workflow, you can add:
<Control AddedMinutes="60" Binding="<property Identifier>" InputType="Date" />
I never created two creation workflows, so I’m not sure if the UI will allow both to be shown or only one. If the UI only allows one to be shown at a time, you will have to play with the AccessControlRules.
