    Description

      Issue Summary

      Updating a date-time field type through bulk update doesn't respect user's Timezone instead it shows 'Default user time zone' from Jira setting on bulk edit page, and converts that time per 'User profile timezone' setting.




      Steps to Reproduce

      Refer to the below scenarios to reproduce the problem:

      Jira default user time zone User Profile timezone Timestamp on DateTime type field Observations
      It should be equivalent to GMT-7 per daylight saving because Jira doesn't auto converts the DST  GMT+5:30 Jun 03, 2023, 2:30 AM During bulk operations time selected 'June 02, 2023, 2:00 pm';
      • Time timezone selected from calendar pop-up is from default user time zone setting.
      • If you convert 2:00 pm GMT-7 (PST) into IST, it returns 2:30 a.m IST due to User account settings.
      It should be equivalent to GMT-7 per daylight saving because Jira doesn't auto converts the DST  PST8PDT(GMT-7) Jun 02, 2023, 2:00 PM correct time.
      Because both Jira default user settings and 'user account' settings are correct.
      No need to convert.
      (GMT+03:00)Amman PST8PDT(GMT-7) Jun 02, 2023, 4:00 AM The time visible on Jira ticket after the bulk update is in PST. But the timestamp 2nd June 2023, 2:00 p.m. selected during bulk update was in (GMT+03:00 =Amman). Time visible on Jira issue is converted to (GMT-7 = PST).
      Refer to the conversion:
      2:00 p.m. Thursday, in Amman, Jordan is
      4:00 a.m. Thursday, Pacific Time (PT)
      It should be equivalent to GMT-7 per daylight saving because Jira doesn't auto converts the DST  GMT+3:00 Jun 03, 2023, 12:00 AM Calendar selects the timestamp from Jira default settings. This means 2nd June 2023, 2:00pm is the time from Jira default setting(GMT-7 = PST).The time visible on Jira tickets is from user profile which is GMT+3 = AMMAN.
      Refer to the below conversion:
      2:00 p.m. Thursday, Pacific Time (PT) is
      12:00 a.m. Friday, in Amman, Jordan

       

      Expected Results

      Bulk edit operation should consider 'User Profile timezone' while editing 'Date-Time' field type.

      Actual Results

      Bulk edit operation considers 'Jira default user time zone' while editing 'Date-Time' field.

      Workaround

      The possible workaround is to set the 'Jira default user time zone' matching 'User Profile timezone' but this is not feasible if customer has global userbase.
