Nuanced IT - Zoho developer based in Sydney, Australia

Recently I was working on a custom function for Zoho CRM which required me to get the current time in a specified timezone. I assumed that zoho.currenttime would give me the time based on the timezone chosen in the organisation settings but discovered that it always gives it to you in PST. The Zoho Partner team gave me this snippet to solve the problem: current_time_in_timezone = zoho.currenttime.toString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", "Australia/Sydney").toTime("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"); If you need the current date, do: current_date_in_timezone = zoho.currenttime.toString("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss", timezone).toDate(); To figure out what you can put in for the timezone part, refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones
