[TIME-194] Widget does not adjust for user's personal time zone when displaying time logged.

[Andriy Zhdanov]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Set Jira System Time to Brussels (GMT +1)
2. Create a user on CST (GMT -6)
3. Log time after 5pm CST
4. Look at the dashboard widget
5. Observe that the logged time shows up for "tomorrow"

Expected: Time logged shows up under the day the user logged the time.

This issue is affecting our reporting as we have developers in Belgium and in Texas. Our system time is Belgium time, meaning that we have inaccurate metrics for our Texas developers for all time logged after 5pm.

It looks like a Jira problem, please see screen in issue #198 "[TIME-198] Timesheet is showing a different date when logged" and one attached also, it shows Jira worklog has this problem, so I can't do anything with it.

Figured this out:

JIRA v. 4.4 introduces ...

User Time Zone

If users of a single JIRA instance of yours are scattered around the globe, you're going to appreciate the new User time zone property of the user profile. Users can now specify the time zone they're working on so that other people can now what to expect when interacting with them.

We are using the personal timezone feature, but it does not influence the display of the timesheet widget. time clocked at 5pm CST or later (GMT-6) still shows up for the next day.

Is this still a Jira issue?

Oh, so it's not done automatically, and I've failed to find what needs to be done in plugin to support it, asked in JPA-9

Added support for Jira 4.4. time zones.
Jira stores times in server time-zone, but displays in user time-zone, plugin does the same.
See plugin version 2.2.4
Committed revision 165267
