Local time for text input node using datetime picker

I have tested it and it works ok for me, at least for my simple test.
For anyone who doesn't know how to install it from git then cd into your .node-red folder and run
npm install node-red/node-red-dashboard
That can take quite a long time, so do not despair if it seems to take forever, particularly on a low powered pi for example. Then restart node-red and refresh the browser windows. If strange things are happening it may be necessary to clear the cache in the browser.
To revert to the released version then run
npm install node-red-dashboard

Valid question. The date time option was only added last year (Feb22). But if it has been broken the whole time then does a fix to fix it then un-break it ? Do two wrongs make a right semantically ? :slight_smile:

Yes for some reason installed from git using rpm takes forever... yarn works a lot better - no idea why... (and not something I'm going to recommend nor investigate as it's not a mainstream path)

Oh, I thought it was much longer ago.

I don't see how it can be left as it is, since it does emit the wrong time, and it isn't even trivial to adjust it to the correct time in the flow.

The node has been around a while but the date time -local was only added recently. And yes definitely will be fixed, but I think it is a bug fix rather than a breaking change. ( currently);
