Search API does not respect my timezone visibility?

[Piotr Paweł Bogacz]

We have an app that invokes the search API from the UI to search issues with worklogs.

• POST /rest/api/2/search
  • fields: [project, worklog, key, priority,...]
  • jql: "worklogDate >= 2021-04-30 AND worklogDate <2021-06-02"
  • maxResults: 100
  • startAt: 0

You need two accounts:

User #1 - is not owned by organization, Time zone = Europa/Warsaw

User #2 - must be owned and managed by an organization, Time zone = Europa/Warsaw, Local time is visible to people who belong to the same organization

Steps to reproduce:

1. Setup Jira Cloud by User #1
2. Change Jira settings - set "Default user time zone" = "(GMT-08:00) Los Angeles"
3. Invite User #2 to new Jira Cloud
4. Login as User #2
5. Create ticket
6. Log work, time spent = 1h, Date started = 01 May 2021 6:00 AM
7. Search API invoked from plugin returns:

Expected result:
Author of worklog is User #2 and he used plugin so timeZone should be "Europe/Warsaw".

Actual result:
Default user time zone is used.

NOTE:
The same search request invoked from Postman returns correct results.

Do you think it's a bug?

How are you making the request to the search API? Apps are generally unable to access the users timezone unless it is public. However they would can access it a frontend context using AP.user.getTimeZone
