time changing based on user's geographical location

I have a custom field in a form that is a date field.  The time is showing differently based on user's geographical location.  The customer has a separate field that states the timezone.  The customer wants the time to show consistent across all users ...regardless of their geographical location.  Do I need to make this date field a text field ...or is there a way to keep it a date field, but not have it ever change the time for users?

Hi @DaBell,

 

This Calculated data expressions post is one of my go-to articles, among which you'll find many different date-related streamers to hang off your handlebars.

 

That said, with the warning below (and having fought the Good Fight many times with time zones, JavaScript, and browsers), your intuition to simply switch to a text field might be the most practical option.

 

Regards,

Doug
