The Start Time field date picker always parses according to the local timezone of the user's machine. This creates a persistent usability issue for us because all in-game events are announced in UTC-4. When creating events in Sesh, we have to convert UTC-4 to our local time before input, or we have to manually type the timezone abbreviation like BOT (Bolivia Time) after selecting the date. This is inefficient and error prone.
Changing the personal timezone setting to a UTC-4 timezone does not affect the date picker. The field does not respect the user's personal timezone setting and continues to parse based on local system time. Entering offsets like UTC-4 or GMT-4 also does not work, which forces users to rely on less obvious abbreviations found through external searches.
Adding a searchable timezone picker or a setting that allows the user or server to define the timezone used by the date picker for parsing Start Time would eliminate unnecessary conversions and prevent entry errors when adding an event.
