The FME ArcGIS Online writer should expose a time zone setting that allows you to set the time zone of your data when publishing or appending data. By default, ArcGIS Online assumes all data is stored in UTC but when publishing directly to ArcGIS Online through the UI or using the ArcGIS Python API the time zone can be set to the time zone of your data. This setting in the writer would allow dates to be published and updated accurately.

this would be extremely helpful as there’s no way i can find to bulk set local time zone on date/time attributes in a dynamic workspace writing to agol. one can do it with the @TimeZoneSet(@Value(),local) function, but doing it to all date/time fields dynamically is the hang up. a setting in the writer would be most ideal.

from what i’ve found, this might be the only possible method, and honestly, it’s a lot.
