This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
Client has created a custom shortcode to set the default value for a custom date field in a Toolset Form, but it is not allowing for the time zone.
Solution:
An updated shortcode to show the current date/time adjusted for the time zone that can be used to set the default value of a date field is:
add_shortcode( "now", function(){
// get UTC offset for current WP timezone
$offset = get_option('gmt_offset');
return time() + $offset * 60 * 60;
});

I am trying to get the current time and date in a cred custom field.
I have created a custom field called "general-date-field" and added this to Cred form.
now i have added a code snippet to get the current time and date with following code
add_action('cred_save_data_3357', 'update_date_last_edited', 10, 2);
function last_edited() {
return time();
}
add_shortcode('wpv-post-edited-time', 'last_edited');
then i have added the shortcode of that snippet to the fields Value like following
<code
[cred_field field='general-date-field' value='[wpv-post-edited-time]' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
[/php]
now the default value of that field is showing up but always UTC+0...Although my WordPress site time is UTC+3 and in the backend admin it shows me the right time which is UTC+3
