JSON.stringify converts dates to UTC which may not always be desirable #222

Open cbierFL opened 5 years ago

When deep cloning the object to create an operation it looks like all objects are being JSON stringified. JSON.stringify converts all dates to UTC.

This is a problem if the server is giving the UI a non-utc date, and then the UI is patching that date back with a different time zone.

This one is slightly different in that it's not a big deal that its becoming a string. Just that the timezone is being changed
