Description

« Hide

example: Create a filter with 'Created After'=04/Oct/06 and 'Created Before'=06/Oct06.

I'd expect the system to return issues created on 05/Oct/06, but I get some that are created on 04/0ct/06 -all are within 8 hours of midnight. I assume the server time (Perth) is set for those issues logged in timezones that correlate to Perth time on 05/Oct/06. The system is not compensating for these differences.

Michael,

I believe that JIRA uses the system timezone setup for all date searches.

Is that not what you are seeing?

Or are you after User Timezones? (JRA-9)

Scott,
The problem is caused by the way Jira interprets times when users in other timezones log issues.

In JRA-9 Nick says that all times are reported in the server's timezone. This must not be true for dates. See my example above.

Given that this issue was logged in 2002, am I to assume that this issue won't be addressed by Atlassian?

Hi Michael,

We have a lot of new feature and improvement requests (thousands). We are doing our best in trying to implement the most popular ones, as well as the ones that we think will greatly benefit JIRA.

JRA-9 has been open for a long time, and unfortunately given our workload I am not able to provide an implementation date for it. However, we are not plan to discard it either.

For more information on the way new features and improvements are scheduled please see:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+and+Improvements

As far as I can see this issue is a duplicate of JRA-9, and therefore I will resolve it. Please let us know if I misunderstanding this issue.

Cheers,
Anton
