How to use local date in workflow date validator

[Reinhard Karbas]

We have a workflow validator to make sure the date used is the current date or later.
The comparison is done against now (date comparison JSU), using only the date part.
However, as Jira is using UTC and we are in the US as soon as UTC date changes to the next day the comparison for the same date will not work anymore as the UTC time has already changed.
Is there a way to configure now in the date validator to use local time?

Hello @Reinhard Karbas 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you show us the details of the configuration of the validator please?

I don't have access to a DC instance with JSU at the moment. Just looking at the documentation for JSU for DC I'm not seeing how you can set up the Date Compare validator to compare to now(). It appears to be set up comparing two date fields, not a comparison between a date field and a relative date. Are you perhaps using the Date Expression Compare validator instead?
