We have a regular event that needs to happen at 5:00pm UTC on the last Sunday of every month.
We created a new calendar set its timezone to Universal, there was no option to choose UTC, and after the calendar is created it appears as "Europe/London (Z)" when you open the Edit dialog.
We have a user who set their timezone in the profile as UTC.
This user created this event, and when that user looks at the calendar it appears as 4:00pm from April to October.
Why does that happen? How can we have an event showing with a consistent time if the user's timezone is set to UTC?
The Confluence Team Calendar's interpretation of the "Universal" timezone setting as "Europe/London (Z)" causes events to shift during daylight saving time (DST).
To get rid, You can either change the calendar timezone to a non-DST-observing timezone like "Etc/UTC", manually adjust the event to re-anchor it to 5:00 PM UTC, or consider using an alternative tool like Google Calendar that supports explicit UTC-based recurring events.
Hope this helps - Happy to help further!!
Thank you very much and have a great one!
Warm regards
