      Issue Summary

      When using the date time picker in the Jira native android app, it seems to change the default time displayed based on the user timezone setting.

      For example: 

      Consider the current time = 12:30pm

      Opening the date time picker and after selecting the date, the default time displayed is 10:30am. You manually have to update this to the current time each time since it defaults to a couple of hours behind.

      The amount of time it deviates by is likely depenedent on the "Default user time zone" setting in Jira > General Configuration or the users timezone set from their Profile > Account preferences

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Navigate to Jira > System > General Configuration
      2. Set the default user time zone to Asia/Singapore ( which ~ GMT+8 ) if you are based out of GMT+10. Essentially, change it to something ahead or behind your current time.
      3. Navigate to id.atlassian.com > Account preferences and set your location to Asia/Shanghai ( which ~ is also GMT+8 )
      4. Open the Jira mobile app
      5. Navigate to any datetime picker field. Either in an issue or when starting a sprint etc
      6. Select the date and click ok
      7. The time selector is shown but it defaults to a few hours behind the actual current time

      Expected Results

      The default time displayed is the users current time

      Actual Results

      The time displayed will differ by a few hours based on settings

      Workaround

      Currently there is no known workaround for this behavior. A workaround will be added here when available
