3219289 - Time Validation Using Rule Editor Not Return Local Time

Symptom

You have created a UI rule using the NOW() function, however it is not returning local time.

Environment

SAP Cloud for Customer

Cause

The rule function NOW() only shows the current time in UTC, no matter what the timezone has been set for the user.

For example: 2022-06-30T00:47:26.818Z

"Image/data in this KBA is from SAP internal systems, sample data, or demo systems. Any resemblance to real data is purely coincidental."

This follows the format defined by the sensible practical standard, ISO 8601. The T separates the date portion from the time-of-day portion and the Z on the end means UTC.

Resolution

This is the standard system behavior.
