UTC offset in now() and other dates

Hello team, I am in the GMT+2 time zone, with my computer and phone showing that time. In surveys (Open Foris Arena and Arena Mobile 2), now() and recordDateCreated() resolve to GMT+0. Is there a place to change this? Thank you. Jeff

Dear Jeff,
The now() function takes into account your timezone already.
Where do you notice exactly the difference between your time and the one returned by those functions?
Many thanks,
Open Foris Team

Hello Team, I am sending you a link to a screenshot and export of a survey. Prefilled date fields on a form have GMT+0 time, but as soon as the form is saved, the time changes to GMT+2 (in my time zone). You only notice this if you check the form before proceeding to the following survey point.

The question can be closed. Thank you for your help. Jeff
