Is there any support for automation rules using cron that adjust for daylight savings time?

For one of my automation rules I had to use cron to get the timing desired.  Noticed that the job runs an hour earlier now since we "fell back" to end daylight saving time.  Cron has support for timezone recognition, but I'm not seeing any support for this in the documentation for automation (all based in UTC).  Am I missing it, or does this not exist?  Is this something on the roadmap for Jira Cloud?  Seems like the only option currently is to update the automation rule and adjust the hour setting.

Hi @Mike Nelson welcome to the community.  Based on this earlier post it was mentioned that timezones currently aren't used in Automations.  It may be easier to adjust your rule.

I took a quick look on Atlassian's Jira Site and didn't see any open tickets regarding TimeZone support for Automations.

Hope that helps.

It looks like AUTO-101 is a suggestion covering this, so it is there (thanks for the earlier post link that had that reference).  Guess until then it's manual updates to the rule.
