I have `dateFormat:tz` set to **Browser** so Kibana displays in my local time globally, but I have a few Date fields in particular that I don't want converted to local time - these should display in UTC.

While it's possible to modify the date format displayed for an individual field, is there a way to prevent Kibana from converting an individual field's timezone to the one set in `dateFormat:tz`?

Thanks!

Hello,  
There is no way currently to do this. You could display the timezone next to the timefield, but that won't stop it from being converted. What you could use is a scripted field and convert the date to a string with the correct timezone, but then you won't be able to do any kind of date formatting on it.
