UTC format fields not converting to GMT format for REST
SA-39874
Summary
A REST service returns a datetime value in a JSON message using UTC format (for example, 2017-06-12T18:16:00.324Z).
While HFix-29779 prevents an exception from getting thrown, the datetime format still remains in UTC format and does nott get converted to Pega supported GMT format.
It is expected that Pega would parse the datetime value to it's internal format so that it can be used to display datetime values or used in data transforms.
Error Messages
InvalidDateTimeValue 2017-06-12T18:16:00.324Z
Steps to Reproduce
1. Use SOAPUI to simulate the Rest JSON response - {"createdate":"2017-06-12T18:16:00.324Z"}.
2. Use Rest integration wizard to generate Data page and connect-rest Rule.
3. Change the Int- createdate property type from Text to DateTime.
4. Run Data page and Trace the execution.

A defect in Pegasystems’ code or rules
