Issue with timezone and displayed datetime values

Support
#1

Hi,

i’m developing a project based on platform version 7.2.22. In there is an entity with a datetime attribute.

@Temporal(TemporalType.TIMESTAMP)
@NotNull
@Column(name = "ZUGESTELLT_AM", nullable = false)
private Date zugestelltAm;

The entities are displayed in a browse screen with a standard group table and no specific formatter for the attribute.

There are two ways how entities are created within my project:

  1. through user interface
  2. by import from a file

The issue i have is that the mentioned attribute in the table are displayed different regarding the timezone of the current user. Here are two example data:

  1. entity created by user interface with ‘zugestelltAm’ set to ‘2025-12-10 08:38’. The same value is stored in the database and will be shown on the browse screen.
  2. entity imported from file with ‘zugestelltAm’ set to ‘2025-05-12 00:00’. The same value is stored in the database but on the browse screen the timezone of the current user takes effect. In this example the timezone is +1 so the displayed value is ‘2025-05-11 23:00’.

Both entities are created by the default admin user.

Best regards
Jeróme
