How to disable Localizaton on Date Time Field?

Question

Hi jira Experts,

At the moment Jira Date Time field do converts the time according to the location selected by the logged in user. e.g. if a user enters a date and time in India then a user from US will see the time as per their time zone.

I am planning to create a custom field type of Date Time which can overrided the localization.

Can someone please guide us on how should I proceed and what should be the logical step to create such customfield also which java class we should override to achive this?

Hi Nic,

Can you please share a tutorial to crate a Date Time type custom field in Jira. I can find the tutorials for Text fields but there are no tutorials for Date Time picker

You will need to write an app that provides a new type of field, not one that overrides anything - start at https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/getting-started/
