Hi Fineract Dev Community, In the Fineract documentation, it is mentioned that:
"Recently (after release 1.7.0), we introduced improved date time handling in Fineract. Date time is from now on stored in UTC and we are enforcing UTC timezone even on the JDBC driver, e.g., for MySQL: serverTimezone=UTC&useLegacyDatetimeCode=false&sessionVariables=time_zone='-00:00'" We are currently using MySQL as our database and would like to use the IST timezone instead of UTC. While I'm aware of the configuration steps required to switch to IST, I wanted to ask: * Are there any known issues or errors that might arise from using IST instead of UTC with Fineract? * What was the rationale behind enforcing UTC for datetime handling in the newer versions? Understanding this will help us ensure compatibility and avoid potential pitfalls. Looking forward to your insights.
