Hi everyone,

I am facing an issue where Jira automatically shifts issue start or end dates away from weekends.

The Problem:
Whenever I set a Start Date or Due/End Date for an issue on a Saturday or a Sunday, the date automatically jumps to the next working day (Monday).

What I have already configured:

Tempo Timesheets/Planner: Worklog and holiday calendars are configured to allow work on weekends.

BigPicture: The working days / schedule calendar is explicitly configured to include Saturday and Sunday as working days.

Despite these settings, dates continue to snap to Monday.

 

Questions:

Is there a global Jira setting, field configuration, or scheduling scheme (e.g., in BigPicture or Jira native fields) that overrides app-specific calendars?

Could a workflow post-function, automation rule, or specific sync setting between BigPicture and Jira fields be causing this behavior?

How can I force Jira / BigPicture to accept weekend dates without auto-shifting them?

Any insights or guidance on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance for your help.
