Issue Summary
Profile timezone dropdown shows legacy “Athens, Istanbul (GMT+2)” and does not offer Europe/Istanbul. Java correctly treats Europe/Istanbul as UTC+03:00, but users can’t select it and must choose another GMT+3 city.
Steps to Reproduce
- Log in as any user.
- Go to Profile → Settings → Timezone.
- See only legacy “Athens, Istanbul (GMT+2)” / no correct GMT+3 Istanbul.
- Confirm Europe/Istanbul is not available in the list.
Expected Results
Europe/Istanbul (or “Istanbul”) is available in the profile timezone dropdown and reflects UTC+03:00 (GMT+3), so users in Turkey can select Istanbul directly.
Actual Results
Europe/Istanbul is not available in the profile timezone dropdown (only a legacy/incorrect Istanbul entry appears).
Workaround
- UI workaround: Select an alternative city with UTC+03:00 (GMT+3) (works functionally but is confusing for Turkey users).
- System-level workaround (does not update profile dropdown): Set JVM timezone to Istanbul:
-Duser.timezone=Europe/Istanbul
