Nova userTimezone not working as expected #5818

Closed mnowak-umich closed 1 year ago

mnowak-umich commented 1 year ago

Description:

So I read in the docs that I can set the timezone per user using the userTimezone method in the nova service provider. However, in Nova, it still says UTC next to all of my DateTime fields. When you edit a field, it shows the timezone I specified in the datetime editor but it saves it back to the database with the time I chose but in UTC. So in the editor, it says America/Detroit next to the field and if I enter noon, I would expect to see 16:00 in the database since UTC is currently 4 hours ahead. But I see 12:00 in the database.

Perhaps I need clarification on any additional steps I need to take to make this feature work. I expected to see UTC datetimes converted to the user's timezone and upon save, those datetimes converted back to UTC and stored that way.
