Unable to retrieve original UTC offset from date-time property values #107

Closed mangstadt closed 4 years ago

mangstadt commented 4 years ago

From a user via email on July 6 2020.

They are using ez-vcard to convert vCards to JSContact. They want to preserve the UTC offset in date-time properties (such as ANNIVERSARY, BDAY, and REV).

Currently, ez-vcard converts these property values to java.util.Date objects, which means the original UTC offset is lost.

I suggested creating a custom scribe to get the raw text value. This suited their needs.

Request reopened. User needs zone offset to be accessible.

Functionality added in c5777f64086ae99692d87d1858ef77b1402a28cb
