08/09/2021, 11:08 AMHi all, I have a portlet and executing that portlet on currentUser setting. The problem is I want to fetch current user’s timezone. I tried the following code however, I’m not getting the timezone of that currentUser who is executing the script. how can we achieve this?
var userObj = runtime.getCurrentUser();
log.debug({title:‘user obj’,details:userObj});
var email = userObj.email;
var emailString = email.split(‘@’);
log.debug({title‘emailString’,detailsemailString});
var finalString = emailString[0];
var timeZone = userObj.location;
log.debug({title‘timeZone’,detailstimeZone});
var subsidiaryObj = record.load({
type: record.Type.SUBSIDIARY,
id: userObj.subsidiary,
});
log.debug({title‘subsidiaryObj’,detailssubsidiaryObj});
var timezone = subsidiaryObj.TIMEZONE;
log.debug({title‘timezone’,detailstimezone});
I get 0 (zero) in timezone variable.

08/09/2021, 11:11 AMare you trying to get the subsidiary's timezone, or the user's timezone

08/09/2021, 11:11 AMsubsidiary’s timezone is also user’s timezone, so it’s one and the same
