Date time format

Hi there, I am running a flow between power apps and sharepoint with the help of powerautomate. For some reason when i fill out the hour field in my app, sharepoint saves the time 1h ahead. I've tried so many ways to fix the problem but the time still shows 1h ahead. I went to the sharepoint list settings, I have chagned the formula in powerautomate using the following formula and more, but still the correct time does not show. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?: 
 
concat(
    formatDateTime(convertTimeZone(triggerBody()?['date'], 'Central Europe Standard Time', 'UTC'), 'yyyy-MM-dd'), 'T',
    string(triggerBody()?['text_3']), ':',
    string(triggerBody()?['text_4']), ':00Z'
)

    Adding the 'Z' at the end of your string makes the system assume that this is UTC time, but you've manually converted it to Central Europe time, which is UTC+1.  The connector in Power Automate is expecting UTC time, but you are giving it a UTC time that is one hour off.  Remove the conversion and you will be working with UTC and it should then be correct.

    Is there an actual issue?  You should always be using UTC dates in all your processes. That's how data is stored in the PowerPlatform and elsewhere in Azure.  Preferably ISO-8601 format (which you have)
