How 'Convert data type' action is working

1

Hello,

I have a question about how is working a string to a datetime value conversion with ‘Convert data type’ action.

I have a datetime value as a string “2026-02-09T22:49:11.000Z”. This string converted with Convert data type action with input format = ‘yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss.000Z’ has numerical value 46063.0341550926 and back convert as a string is ‘2026-02-10 12:49:11 AM’ . What I assume is that, during the conversion process, the time zone is taken into account (in our case +02:00)

So my question is how ? I can’t remember to set our timezone in EM. We use EasyMorph Desktop 5.9.7.7.

Best regards,

Radu.

Hi Radu,

That's an interesting observation and somewhat surprising behavior. We're looking into this.
