While I completely understand the reason the system time zone in system settings cannot be changed once Frappe is setup, it makes the decision of what is selected there that much more important. I’m in the US and naturally I selected the central time zone where I’m located. But I’m curious now, is that what the majority of people do, select their local time zone? Or do they choose UTC and then rely on the value selected for the individual user?
It’s a little unfortunate the database doesn’t store the time zone with the timestamp as in the US, you have that pesky daylight savings time which causes a little bit of havoc in the fall. Yes, we’re only talking one hour out of 8,760 in a year, but you have that period between 2 AM and 3 AM in November that repeats itself.
It would be a nice feature to allow for changing of the system time zone in Frappe. It could be done with a background job that goes through every time value and adjusts it. Probably not a huge need though that warrants the development work.
I’m stuck now with the choice I made, but curious if others have given this any thought and what majority think and do?
