3313597 - The Time Zone of Extension Field doesn't change Along With the Change of Time Zone in My Settings

Symptom

There is an extension field in a document, for example a production request, and it is maintained as a date and time like 27.01.2023 04:00. In My Settings, Time Zone is UTC+00:00. Now change it to UTC+08:00, log off and log on system again, the extension field is still 27.01.2023 04:00.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to work center Production Control.
  2. Access view Production Requests.
  3. Select a production request, click Edit.
  4. Select General Tab, for extension field ABC (ABC represents extension field label), its value is 27.01.2023 04:00.
  5. On the up-right corner, click the profile, select My Settings.
  6. Change Time Zone from UTC+00:00 to UTC+08:00.
  7. Log off and log on system again.
  8. Open the same production request, its value is still 27.01.2023 04:00.

Cause

The extension field has type as "Extended Text", hence change of time zone in My Settings will not influence it. Only when an extension field has type "Date and Time", will change of time zone in My Settings influence it.

Resolution

System standard behavior.
