Hi Tony thanks for that.
I get the concept. My question was about the format that TW is using in the tiddlers. example. <$edit-text field="my_date" type="date"/> <$edit-text field="my_datetime" type="datetime-local"/> will create these fields: created: 20191030080335371 modified: 20191031080056713 my_date: 2019-10-02 my_datetime: 2019-10-03T11:01 title: AAAAAA using the the format by the browser using UTC (so your logic applies). so my specific question is about the reasoning behind choosing that format rather than the standard UTC ? Just curious. Regards On Thursday, 31 October 2019 01:19:58 UTC, TonyM wrote: > > Sebastian > > UTC does not refer to the format as you seem to believe, it refers to the > dates time zone.
