    Hi @kumar25,

    Can you try this expression:

    Date.parse(“2021-10-25 04:00:00”).toLocaleDateTimeString({“timeZone”:“America/New_York”, “format”:“yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss”})

    Don’t forget to replace the double quotes:

    BR,
    Marjan

    @kumar25: The solution given by @marjan.karafiloski should work as I would have given the same solution.

    I agree to @marjan.karafiloski’s point that while copying the logic, you’ll have to explicitly remove the double quotes and put it back as it will give you an error, if you don’t do it.
