Hello everybody, I am facing an issue parsing a string date to date format using below code: ```auto url"https://somewebsite.com" token = 'some token' headers = {'Accept': 'application/json','Authorization': token} bypassCertValidation = True source = system.net.httpGet(url,headerValues=headers,bypassCertValidation = True) noaaJSON = system.util.jsonDecode(source) #print noaaJSON siteID = noaaJSON['result'][0]['siteId'] pollTime = str(noaaJSON['result'][0]['pollTime']) print siteID print pollTime Date = system.date.parse(pollTime,"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ") print Date ``` * * * Error code: ```auto WWEF 2021-11-19T11:12:43.527Z ------ **This is the String date result trying to parse** 16:42:52.046 [AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR com.inductiveautomation.factorypmi.application.binding.action.ActionAdapter - Error executing script for event: actionPerformed

It probably doesnt recognize the Z try this: `Date = system.date.parse(pollTime,"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSS'Z'")` if you want it with the timezone use X, tho im guessing you wont need this `system.date.parse(pollTime,"yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSX")` ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/8/0/80b7276ec1cc52dfd822627443cdf90af8ea59db.png)
