Project versions timestamps are one day behind in the database

Platform Notice: Data Center Only - This article only applies to Atlassian products on the Data Center platform.

Problem

The project versions dates in the database don't match the ones in the UI.

For instance, a version release date of 20/Dec/2017 will show as 12/19/2017 20:00:00 in the database.

Cause

The time in the database will account for the difference in number of hours between the timezone of the database server and the timezone of the Jira server.

Examples

Jira timezone

DB timezone

Release date in UI

Note

Updating the timezone of the DB server will update the times in the DB.
