Ok, that seems to work, I will continue to mess with it.

Thanks,

Hi whitebuck. Welcome to Method!

Dates are stored in Method in UTC time (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time).

The UI converts the UTC time to your local time when displaying, and converts local time to UTC when saving. That way the time is accurate to the viewer regardless of where they are around the world.

So, when using the API you'll have to convert your local time to UTC time before saving.

Hope that helps,

Paul

Hello,

I am new to Method.me and I have been playing with saving data from a website to the method.me crm.

Today I stored a date as

2017-12-18 00:00:00

What shows in the form page is:

Dec-17-2017 06:00 PM

Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks,

Mike.
