Does anyone know how to set a "Time of Day" field value using suitescript?

This is a custom field, I'm trying to set the value using this but I'm getting `You have entered an Invalid Field Value`, I have tried to create my own script as well, no luck. On the UI, an example value is just: `3:49 pm` so I'm not sure what is the issue here

`var executionTime = format.format({`
                    `value: now,` 
                    `type: format.Type.TIMEOFDAY`
                `});`

never mind, it seems it is expecting a Date Object and it is just taking the portion of the time. However it is taking the pacific time.

<@U5L945PD5> What time zone are you expecting it to use? What entry point are you using?

Hi <@UH8L0UJAU> thanks for your help. I'm using a Map/Reduce script and the time zone would be dynamic, depending on the time zone set on general preferences. However after testing this, I changed the field to be a date/time and I noticed that it was saving on the expected time zone the date along the time. A date/time field would use the time zone set on the general preferences :slightly_smiling_face:
