Worklog Behaviour configurable? It substracs the logged time from the start date (it should not)

Question

Dear Community,

i recently spotted a behaviour that i was not aware of.

On logging Time, e.g. "1h" whatever, it substract the given value from the starting date. ((now)-1h).

i was used to that start date is just plain (now) ...

does anybody can tell me if i can change this? (Have admin privileges)

thank you in advance!

Hi @Hannes,

I am not entirely sure I understand your question correctly - but I seem to get from it that you are having timezone issues somehow.

If you have site admin permissions, you should be able to verify the default time zone settings for your site via Jira settings > System > General Configuration > Edit settings > default user time zone.

However, if a user has a different setting specified in his/her user profile, that setting overrides the default. See this related thread for a bit more background.

Hope this helps!
