Different timezone issue on Log Time screen

Added by Ashutosh Sharma about 9 years ago

We have an Open Project v4.2.9 hosted on Ubuntu 14.0 server. On the server we have kept default time zone as UTC. We have one team working in PST time zone and one team working on IST time zone. The team who is working on PST time zone is facing an issue that when they Log a time for a particular work package after 4 PM PST it takes the date as next day i.e. if I am logging time for a work package on 11/09 at 4 PM PST, it will show the date as 11/10. The reason being in UTC time 4 PM PST corresponds to 12 AM of next day.

Even if I have set the time zone for the user to be PST, this issue is still happening.

Open Project should store the time in UTC which it is doing, but while retrieving the date it should format according to the time zone of the user and show it. Without this it will be difficult to get accurate reporting for all the users.

RE: Different timezone issue on Log Time screen - Added by Oliver Günther almost 9 years ago

Hey Ashutosh,

sorry for the late reply! On the activity module, the dates were not properly formatted using the user’s timezone.
This has been fixed with https://community.openproject.org/work_packages/22641/activity

I’ll take a look at date for time entries. Please open a bug report should you find other dates that are invalid. Since most users working with OpenProject are in a close timezone, these differences are often not detected in our daily work, so any input from your side is much appreciated.

Best,
Oliver
