Ticket created time not reflecting correct time

[Khairul_Neezam_Ramlee]

Hi,

I am on Cloud JIRA. Everything in the system has been set to my Asia +8 timezone. However, when I attempt to create a test ticket, the system still displays in +0 GMT timezone.

I've searched the knowledgebase, but didn't see any threads specifically to address this issue on the Cloud.

Anyone care to share guidance?

Just realised you are using date time custom field. It's a know bug in Jira which is being tracked in this link: JRACLOUD-72350

The description of the bug seems to say that the issue only occurs when both date and datetime fields are used in tandem.

But I am only using the datetime field alone.

Here is most recent bug: JRACLOUD-73554 specific to date/time custom field.

Thanks @Veera . It's unfortunate a very basic timezone issue still exists to this date.

I think for the moment, I will expllicitly label my date/time field to indicate that the timing is in UTC, so that when Atlassian eventually fixes the issue, I don't need to patch the data fields.

I completely I agree with you @Khairul_Neezam_Ramlee the bug should have been fixed by now.

I like the workaround you mentioned.

@Khairul_Neezam_Ramlee ,

All the date & time values are stored in the UTC format in backend database for Jira Cloud.

However, you can update timezone settings  in Jira / personal level to view the values in your own timezone.

System level default user timezone settings:

User Personal settings:

I have already set these two correctly prior to raising this issue. But it doesn't make a difference.
