why does
```auto
let time = moment().tz("Europe/Berlin").format("HH:mm:ss");
```
work in a function node on Node-Red 3.1.0
and
not work in a function node on Node-Red 3.1.3
Problem seems to be that moment() is not accessible

Works for me
Can you confirm that you included the module in **Setup** tab of your Function node
**[EDIT]**
Updated the screenshot as it seems its the `moment-timezone` module that supports tz methods

You use the `change` node that has `moment` built in
```auto
$moment().tz("Europe/Berlin").format("HH:mm:ss")
```

Just a reminder that you do not need moment for that. Use the standard INTL library instead.
