Output the current date and time for a given timezone.

Provide one of the curated timezone options (for example America/New_York, Europe/Berlin, or UTC) and the block returns the current moment in that timezone. The block produces a timestamp (a timezone-aware datetime object you can pass to other blocks), along with ready-to-use iso_string, date, and time strings.

The timezone may be a literal value typed into the block, or a reference to a workflow input or another step's output.

Use the following identifier in step "type" field: roboflow_core/current_time@v1 to add the block as a step in your workflow.
