Resolving Date/Time Display Discrepancies in Web ServicesIssue Date and time values have both a value and a display value. Inconsistencies between these values can lead to unexpected behaviour. The value is the raw value within the database. The display value represents the user-friendly value shown in the UI. Certain field types such as Encrypted text, DateTime, choice, and reference fields all also use a display value that differs from the raw value. With DateTime fields, the raw value is always stored in the UTC timezone, while the display value appears in the timezone set for the current user record. Symptoms Date and time values appear different than expectedEntering a date and time value using web services results in a different value appearing in the UICauseBy default, web services use either the display value or the raw value depending on the operation. SOAP Insert or Update operations treat request values as display valuesSOAP retrieval operations return raw valuesJSON operations all use raw valuesREST Table API retrieval operations return raw valuesREST Table API Insert or Update operations use display values for certain fields (you can force the REST API to always use a particular type of value using the 'sysparm_input_display_value' parameterResolutionYou can explicitly specify the format you want the operation to use by adding a parameter to the request URI. SOAP and JSONv2: add the display value parameter. Valid values are true, false, and all. For example, to use only the display values:<instance>.service-now.com/incident.do?SOAP&displayvalue=allREST retrieval operations: add the sysparm_display_value parameter for retrieval operationsValid values are true, false, and all. For example, to return only the display values:<instance>.service-now.com/api/now/table/incident?sysparm_display_value=trueREST Insert or Update operations: add the sysparm_input_display_value parameter for Insert or Update operations. Valid values are true and false. For example, to insert data using only raw values:<instance>.service-now.com/api/now/table/incident?sysparm_input_display_value=false
