Hello,

I’m experiencing an issue where the Time Series chart comes up with a Component Error when trending data across the switch from local daylight time to daylight saving time.

Is there a way to tell the time series chart to use UTC time?

Ignition version: `8.1.3 (b2021030309)`

It looks like the client-side is throwing the exception here.

Here’s the client side stack trace if it is even remotely helpful:

```auto

I also see this on Ignition version `8.1.0 (b2020110211)`:
