Preventing Automatic Time Zone Conversion of DateTime Values in NW UI

Quick question: I’m displaying a DateTime data item in the UI, and it seems like NW is automatically converting it to the system time zone (−5 hours). Is there a way to prevent NW from converting this value?

Example UI:

Value in database:

"2026-02-14T03:19:33.000Z"

Maybe this isn’t what you are looking for but just in case it is… in the User Profile menu under Locale is an option to specify a custom time zone (so the values do not display using your computer’s time zone).

DateTimes in Nextworld are timezone aware and I don’t believe there is an option to make them not that way. If you are able to instead use a Date data item paired with a Time data item, those are not timezone aware and should present as the same value to users across different time zones.

Definitely take a look at Nextworld Help for more clarification if needed:
