Changing the timezone from user preferences will affect the sys_user.Timezone?

[divyadhanda]

I am tring to change the timezone from the user preferences but the updates are not captured in the sys_user table also in the sys_user_preference table. Is this a OOB behaviour? How to resolve this?

@divyadhanda 

if they want to update their timezone then they should do this from portal

This is not direct and will require some customization

This KB explains the steps and also refer the other link

Enable Users to Update Their Time Zone via Service Portal Profile 

Some ACL changes are also required

Enable Timezone from user profile of end user from Service Portal

Hii @divyadhanda 

It won’t be captured in the update set, mate—this is expected behavior.
You’ll need to make the change manually in each instance.

Anywhere it is captured? because my customer wants the preference->time zone should be updated with user.timezone. Is there any way, we can resolve this?

Hi @divyadhanda 

No it did not get captured any where, once user set timezone under user preferences it saved for all upcoming session for user.
