Some methods return detailed time zone related information. For example, see Person settings
PROPERTIES
The time zone properties are a JSON object with these properties:
id | A unique ID of the time zone. When updating time zones you would use this identifier. Example: | string | ||
name | A print name of the time zone inclusive a time zone offset. Note that the offset is for regular time but not daylight saving time. Example:
| string | ||
currentName | The print name of the time zone and adjusted to whether we are in daylight saving time or not. Example:
| string | ||
currentOffset | The today’s time zone offset with hours, minutes and seconds. Example: The offset changes when currently in daylight saving time. | string | ||
currentDate | Today’s date and time as perceived from the UTC time zone. So it basically tells someone living in UTC what the time is of the user. This is simply the current UTC time plus the time zone offset. | datetime | ||
supportsDaylightSaving | If true then the selected time zone has a daylight saving period. | bool |
