  Yes you can. According to the documentation you can you can set the

  localized

  attribute to

  true
  
  

  Here's the link of the screenshot :

  Couldn't find anything about it in the Docs. Switching on localization on the field doesn't change the date picker or set Time Zone on it.

  
  

  
  

  Date is stored as the Docs say YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.SSSZ (e.g. 1999-01-01T8:00:00.000+05:00) but the time zone part is always +00:00 unless I missed a meeting 🙏

  
  

  
  

  The datetime stored in database is correct, it's just stored in UTC (without offset) so front ends can get Time Zone from their user and display it accordingly
