I need the user to be able to enter the date and time of another (any) time zone into the system. How to store it, in a string or in a Date object? And how to translate it from UTC and back, on the server or on the client?

Once entered, convert to UTC and store in UTC. Translate only before displaying, on the server or on the client - as you prefer. If users are from different time zones, then it is more convenient on the client, usually.

Well, there are a lot of third-party libraries like moment.js
