is created/updated field timezone aware

[Vishal Biyani]

if we search issues that were created or updated for datetime range, is the time part timezone aware or timezone agnostic?

if 2 people with different timezone setting, run the query with same date and time range on the same project, will the results be the same or can they be different.

Since i am planning to use REST API to extract data from JIRA, i think this is important to be aware about.

Hi @Vishal Biyani ,

Yes. It is aware of time zone. 

ex : if created date is 13th Jul 2022 6:00 A.M IST

If the user from IST for that user create date shows as 13th Jul 2022 6:00 A.M,  Same ticket for the user from (GMT-08:00) Los Angeles time zone will show as 12th Jul 2022 5:30 P.M

Thanks for your response. I am cloud instance. When i check against an issue. This is what i see.

Internally will JIRA be saving the time in UTC?

try to change your time zone and check. created and updated will reflect as the changed time zone.
