How to test the change

  1. Visit any group

  2. Navigate to the cadence feature page via the sidebar on the left. Issues > Iterations.

To use another timezone, you need to update gitlab.yml and restart your GDK.

Open config/gitlab.yml and change the timezone:

    ## Date & Time settings
    # Uncomment and customize if you want to change the default time zone of GitLab application.
    # To see all available zones, run `bundle exec rake time:zones:all RAILS_ENV=production`
-    # time_zone: 'UTC'
+    time_zone: 'Hawaii'

After saving the change, restart the GDK.
