I have started using this nice component from the post editor that lets me choose a date and time, and then does pretty formatting of it. Thanks \<3

It shows three timezones, mine, Paris and Los Angeles. That makes no sense here. It would be better to show Argentina and Colombia. Is there a way to configure the displayed timezones?

Yes it is, eg:

2021-02-20T23:00:00Z

`[date=2021-02-21 timezone="Europe/Paris" timezones="Africa/Accra|Africa/Conakry"]`

It’s accessible from advanced mode in the insertion date modal.

Thanks!!! That works nicely.

Can I configure the defaults?
