Currently, if converting a date/time to date/time/timezone datatype, the system applies the local timezone. Generally if I'm finding the need to add a timezone, it is because the data is NOT in my local timezone! Please allow user to choose which timezone to apply in this case.

Hello Microsoft - This is a very important function. Currently we change it manually but it can lead to a lot of errors, please consider to add this functionality.
