Is the date & time displayed in the date-time field the same for users sitting in different timezones? Does it show the date & time set on the server?

Or does the date & time displayed adapt to the users local timezone from their browser?

Yes, we always show the date time in the user’s timezone.

And in the database we always _default_ to UTC or the database’s timezone.

Is there a way to force displaying the same time (& therefore timezone) for all users, irrespective of the user’s timezone?

Airtable & Baserow have this feature.

Was this ever resolved? I have the same issue/question — I need fixed times in GMT+07, irrespective of where users happen to be.
