When I receive an ISO datetime from a RESTlet, I need to do this, right?
Copy code
let date = format.format({
value: new Date(datetimeISO),
type: format.Type.DATETIME,
timezone: <timezone>,
});b

10/04/2023, 9:39 PMdepends on what you want to do with it, if you are trying to set a date/time field by value, you want a Date

10/04/2023, 9:40 PMif you want to set it by text, then you want to format it, though using the timezone parameter will screw you if the timezone doesnt match your user's timezone
