I’m working on a gateway in the US but am located in Australia so this makes it difficult for me to actually know what time it was last saved ---

Hmm, really? As far as I can tell the message is created Designer-side and just does `new Date()`, so it should be in the timezone of the Designer. ---

Well at least the date/time you see makes sense, but don’t ask me to explain why your Designer has its TimeZone that way 😕 ---

Designer uses the project timezone. So Vision previews are correct, I’ve always assumed. ---

Yeah, that makes sense, I just only found the timezone being set in the Vision Client, couldn’t find an equivalent in the Designer. Doesn’t mean it’s not happening though!
