Appointment and Interview Date Merge Tags Now Display the Correct Local Date

BH Automation

An issue was resolved where the `%APPOINTMENTDATE%` and `%SUBMISSIONINTERVIEWDATE%` merge tags displayed incorrect dates for certain timezone offsets, which could cause appointment and interview notifications to show a date one day off from the actual scheduled date.

What This Fix Means

The `%APPOINTMENTDATE%` and `%SUBMISSIONINTERVIEWDATE%` merge tags now correctly calculate timezone offsets and display the scheduled date accurately in all timezones. This eliminates any risk of confusion or missed interviews caused by a date discrepancy in automated notifications and email reminders.

Enablement Steps

This fix is automatically applied. No configuration changes are needed. All existing automations using these merge tags will now display the correct local date.
