                meta [

                    Documentation.Name = "DST_Offset_zone",

                    Documentation.LongDescription = "Evaluates a datetime - in datetimezone and returns the UTC or AU datetime",

                    Documentation.Examples = {

                        [Description = "AU to UTC", Code = "DST_Offset_zone([Datetimezone field],EN-AU,DTZ)", Result = "The UTC DateTime from the AU DateTime"],

same here basically, only property that shows for me as well is "Description" (instead of LongDescription).

Thanks for confirming @ImkeF  that I'm not mad (at least in data munging). 

I think I will raise a support tix and see if there is a reason for the inconsistency

 

cheers
