Placeholder for Time Zone

General Discussion

I'm adding a field Date Added that will be:
%_datetime%

I'd like to be able to add the time zone as well but I'm not sure if there is a place holder for it.

You will need to create a custom tag. Time zone numerical values vary from -12 to +12 hours, with UTC (formerly GMT) being zero. So you would create a custom tag (like %UTCzone%) to hold those values. Then add it to your column view and/or to your tag panel.

Or the new tag could hold the time zone letter codes (like EST), as shown here.

In Mp3Tag %_datetime% is a placeholder for the current date and time and you should not use this name for user-defined tag-fields.
Look for section "Dynamic Information":

Allow me to clarify. My field name is "Date Added" the value entered into this field (at some given point) would be for example

"11/22/24 11:32:22 PM PST"

The PST is my current time-zone although I am not always in this time zone. which leads me to the dilemma of finding the placeholder for time-zone this way in theory mp3tag would fill the field with the appropriate current time, date & time-zone.

I wasn't sure there was an official placeholder for my current time-zone

Any date values are taken from the current system time.
So if you keep that up to date and set it according to the local environment, you should be fine.

Yeah, what I ended up doing is creating a duplicate action group for my other most common time zone. So i'll simply enable the action group that fits whatever time zone i am currently in
