It looks like the latest Dashboard 3.5 update changed the ui\_text\_input node's date time picker and time picker's output from UTC time to local time, which makes the original implementation based on ui\_date\_time picker non-compatible, unfortunately.

Is it possible to add an option for the node to output the original time for backward compatibility?

Alternatively, if it is possible to check Dashboard version at Node-RED, so that we can adjust the output based on the dashboard's version?
