Hi @Intakhab Khan ,

You can click on Configure > dictonary  in 'timezone' field of sys_user table record and find were the choices are coming from.

inorder to create a new timezone field in cmdb table you can target a sepecific class were you need to create a new field, choose type as select box and in choices select the desired tables same as in sys_user table.

i hope this helps.

E.g:

After you add the new attribute, open the newly created field and set the choice sources:

If indeed you need the field on all classes, you should select "Configuration Item" in the hierarchy before adding the new attribute (field):
