similar issue today, i was using a custom tag allowing the user to modify a time field(just uses up and down arrows that change the hours and minutes), but now they want it to load with the current local time. will probably modify the default value of the tag to take in the local time, if possible, haven't looked yet. anyone have another solution before i start?
