BUG in Perspective timezone handling

Ignition
1

As far as we can make out, the Perspective Project Timezone property in Project Properties has no effect.

Any date function run in a script or an expression runs on the gateway and returns a UTC time, whereas anything displayed on the client in a date aware control (like a DateTime Input) is altered to match the client timezone.

This is in contrast to the Vision Timezone Behaviour project property which works as advertised.

How can we ensure all Perspective clients display gateway times?

I have been running into the same problem three years later. Our gateway and historian are in the cloud and are on UTC. I would like to use a fixed timezone for a project or, even better, be able to dynamically set the timezone for a perspective session...
