Date Time display in UTC form instead of localtime

[zejili808]

Issue Overview

I have visitor enter a message with their name, message and pictures using Gravity Form (Basic). I then assigned the Entry Date to the Pods custom field submit_date with Form Field Entry Date. Here is the picture,
My Memory Pod has a custom filed of submit_date with Field Type Date / Time. Here is a picture of the Pod and its fields:

I am using Elementor to display the field Submit Date and display it as a Custom Format. See this picture here,

The problem is the time is display in UTC and not localtime. Please advise. Thank you.

Expected Behavior

The time should be display in local time and not in UTC time.

Current Behavior

The time is display in UTC time.

Hello @zejili808

EDIT: Sorry, I misread the actual issue. This might be something that is related to the GF > Pods communication.

Cheers, Jory
