string?


Ashley,

try adding "-mapFieldType DateTime=String". See 
https://gdal.org/programs/ogr2ogr.html#cmdoption-ogr2ogr-mapFieldType

You won't get a ISO datetime but the historical format used by OGR: "YYYY/MM/DD 
HH:MM:SS"

We are using GDAL 3.4.1 to convert GeoJSON to ESRI Shapefile with ogr2ogr.  Our 
source data has a datetime field with content like 
“2022-07-09T23:59:59.000000Z” and in the resultant Shapefile it shows up as 
7/9/2002.

Is there a way to get the ISO datetime into the Shapefile as a string instead 
of the truncated date?

Thanks!
