Multiple Time Zones
Version 2.3.7 introduced better support for multiple timezone environment (issue #281)
Consider two users logged worked done at the same time, but one in India, on Tuesday, and other in US, west coast, on Monday.
Jira will show worklog as if both entries were recorded at the same time for both users, on Monday or on Tuesday, depending on viewing user.
However from Timesheet it is expected:
1) When one in US looks at timesheet, he would see own time worked on Monday, and colleague from India worked time on Tuesday.
2) When other in India looks at timesheet, he would see own time on Tuesday, and colleague from US worked time on Monday.
That would correspond reality and allow correct time audit in teams distributed over multiple time zones.
Before timesheet plugin worked in-line with Jira.
Case 1: admin (and server also) has GMT+1, logs work 1h done on 3d of Sep, of his local time.
Case 2: user has GMT+12, logs work 1h done on 4th of sep of his local time
Jira worklog
Case 1, admin’s view, notice, user’s date is “wrong”
Case 2, AZ’s view, notice admin’s date is “wrong”
Timesheet
Case 1, admin view
Case 2, user view
Now, Timesheet shows entries as they were created by worked user
Case 1: admin view
Case 2: user view.
Worked time is displayed for the day that user worked on!
