Support time zones in Temporal controller #58034

Open AsgerPetersen opened 2 months ago

AsgerPetersen commented 2 months ago

Feature description

In the GUI Temporal controller shows timestamps without time zone info. Leading the user to think the timestamps are local time. At least with WMS-T (WMS with time support) Temporal controller sends the timestamp shown to the user BUT it appends Z making it UTC time. See below screendump

So, the user sets the Temporal controller to 11:00 but gets data for 11:00 UTC which may be hours off. Depending on the actual offset and the data involved, the user may never even realize that the data displayed is NOT from 11:00 local time and may draw erroneus conclusions based on this.

In my opinion this is a bug not feature request. :)
