I found a better solution based on the post [Timestamp to current date and time? - #22 by Paul-Reed](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/timestamp-to-current-date-and-time/873/22) .

var i;  
for (i = 0; i \<msg.payload.length; i++) {

var now = new Date(msg.payload[i].TIMESTAMP).toLocaleString("en-GB");

msg.payload[i].TIMESTAMP = now;

}

return msg;
