Time zone

[Veronica Salvati]

Hi all.

I am a Jira administrator from Italy.

I should set a custom field based on the time zone of the requester.

The problem is that if I have the requester's time zone written into the comment, even though I know he resides in North America, the time zone results in Europe / Rome.

How can I solve this problem?

Thank you very much

Veronica

Hi.

The project type is Service Management
I need to automatically sort tickets based on the person opening them.
We wanted to manage them with portal groups, but I have not found a way to retrieve which portal group is being used. Within the different portal groups we should put the same types of requests.
We need this to be able to make statistics based on the country of the requestor.

Thanks
