Output different in message box & log message

[svinjamuri]

I don’t know if this is a bug or not but the text that is being displayed in message box is different from that of what is being displayed in log message.
The expression that I am using : DateTime.UtcNow.ToString(“yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ssZ”)

@svinjamuri Type this in message box

Convert.ToDateTime(iso8601)

Ouput:

How about using DateTime.UtcNow.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss")

[svinjamuri]

I need date time to be in ISO 8601 format which is yyyy-mm-ddThh:mm:ssZ. I can obtain that in different ways but I need the reason for difference in output of log message and message box.

In the ouput window. Double click on the log ouput line and check the message attribute. Refer below screenshots:

It appears as if the ouput panel is formatting the ouput

If you simply type "2021-05-31T12:27:45Z" in log message activity then also the output will be same. refer below screenshot
