Thanks much, @Steve! I always appreciate your help and expertise.
I agree with you that a USERTZOFFSET() would be much more useful if it were produced in a readily-usable Duration.
I see now that your much simpler solution will probably work in my case and allow me to avoid USERTZOFFSET().
I’ll play around with these. My only concern about UTCNOW() is that I’ve read that it is recorded as the server time but I want the device time (for instances where the sync has be delayed, I want to know when the user tapped something, not when it got written):

If I understand @moncet_idi concern, I have the same problem where a user can trick Appsheet into recording the wrong time by changing their device time. Does this mean that the UTCNOW() function posts the current time from say an independent server regardless of time set on the device ?
