When Jira will change Kiev (wrong) into Kyiv (correct)?

[Victor]

I was a bit confused to see Kiev TimeZone in my profile.

It is wrong. "Kyiv" should be used instead.

Currently, the whole world uses:

• https://www.iana.org/time-zones

According to the latest changes made into "iana" library, we have:

# Zone NAME STDOFF RULES FORMAT [UNTIL]
Zone Europe/Kyiv 2:02:04 - LMT 1880
2:02:04 - KMT 1924 May 2 # Kyiv Mean Time

Thank you for this product.

P.S. In addition, let me explain why we're waiting for this change?

See:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KyivNotKiev

After russia started a terrorist war, this naming issue becomes even more fundamental for Ukraine.

Hello. Now i get error: Error sending feed
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: The datetime zone id 'GMT+02:00' is not recognised

Becouse my server timezone its Europe/Kyiv (I'm use NTP), but in Jira its jira.default.timezone Europe/Kiev (System default: (GMT+02:00) Kiev) and I'm unable change it's to Kyiv. KyivNotKiev.

Naming concern is legit.  But let's keep politics out of here please.

[Victor]

It wasn't about politics.
It is about the war and the official position of the Ukrainian government regarding the convention on the naming of the city.
But still, I got your point.

Thanks!

[Johnny Hermann]

I would take the position of the people over any government.  But your point stands - the people likely want this name corrected too.  Thanks!

[Kyrylo Tereshchuk]

Why do you think this is politics? As a Ukrainian, I assure you there is no existing city KiEv, the Kyiv is only the real name of the Ukrainian capital.

Valid remark. Thank you for bringing it up!

[Victor]

Thank you!

[Victor]

BTW, are you responsible for creating the associated Jira task in the context of this question?

[Yuliia_Borivets__SaaSJet_]

No, I'm not. I just support this change.
