ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 Timestamps

Please extend the DateTime tool to parse ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 type timestamps as well.

 

These are quite commonly used in APIs nowadays and currently require manual RegEx parsing and DateTime calculations.

Agreed.  I've been using Alteryx for just a few days now and am already struggling with this.  I have a timestamp field in my source data that is in ISO 8601 format.  This includes milliseconds and a timestamp "-0700".  Have discovered that Alteryx has no easy way to deal with these.  PostgreSQL and JavaScript both use this format by default.  I think it's the most common timestamp format out there?
