I have a similar issue when releasing. The release date is always wrong. Please, check the screencast. 

[^jira-release-date.mp4]

I am seeing the problem when I look at release dates in the Releases screen - the dates are 1 day earlier than they should be. When I click Manage Versions, then the table updates so that all the dates are what they should be: they all are 1 day later. The system default timezone is the same as my personal default timezone.

I have this exact problem in Jira 7.1.7. If I try to release a version, I get myDate - 1 as the release date.

Default user time zone is set to System default: (GMT-05:00) New York, and my preferences are set to (GMT-06:00) Chicago.

Even if I also set my user preferences to match System, I can still reproduce this error.

Therefore, I do not think time zone mismatch is currently at fault.

Reproduced on:

• JIRA 6.4.12
• Agile 6.7.11

Problem looks to be due to a mismatch of of "Default user time zone" and "System Default"

• Agile Boards are using the "Default user time zone", which is set within JIRA's administration screen
  • JIRA Administration > System > General Configuration > Default user time zone
• Other parts of JIRA make use of the "System Default", which is the timezone that the Java environment recognizes
• The problem occurs when the "System Default" is different than what's been set within the "Default user time zone"

Steps to Reproduce

We simply need to make JIRA's "Default user time zone" mismatch with Java's recognized "System Default". Let's assume the current Java "System Default" is: America/Los_Angeles (GMT -7)

Reproduce 1

1. Create a new Agile board, using the Sample Scrum Project
   • This will automatically include versions with release dates
2. Within JIRA, modify JIRA Administration > System > General Configuration > Default user time zone
3. Change the region to "Australia" and "GMT +8"
4. Now compare the version dates on the Agile Board vs. the Project administration page - notice that they are a day off

Reproduce 2

1. Modify the JVM parameters to include: -Duser.timezone=Australia/Perth
2. Restart JIRA and compare versions

Thank you!

You're right, nguner.
Sorry for missing this important information present on your description.

I will reopen this issue and keep it linked with the first one, as they probably could be fixed at the same time by the future developer.

Cheers,
Klaus.

Hello Klaus,

Thank you for follow up.
I believe there are 2 different problems. We have seen the bug that is described in https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA-41280 earlier, therefore I specifically mentioned that versions dates are the same in Administration>Versions and Overview>Versions. This bug (JIRA-41280) was fixed in our upgraded version JIRA v6.3.8 + JIRA Agile v6.6.13. Please refer to my screenshot1_updated.jpg in the bug – you will see the snapshots with the similar correct dates for both Administration>Versions and Overview>Versions.

Bug that I’m pointing in the issue JIRA-41422 is for incorrect date (one day off) on Agile board>Versions (refer to screenshot2_updated.jpg)
Please advise.

Thank you,

Nataliya
