HMC & Backoffice show different times for a date attribute

[nagasatish_pavuluri]

I am able to see the different datetime values between hmc and backoffice for a custom attribute of type java.util.Date. Would like display the same datetime in hmc and backoffice? I am using hybris version 6.4.0.14

The date time setup in backoffice (at least in the versions I used) is completely broken. I was not able to fix it and users must know how to adjust the times they see in backoffice:

Backoffice has a timezone setting on date fields i believe.

When you press F4 to go into ochestration mode, you can open the backoffice cockpit config. Find the date field and you adjust the GMT zone to the right one.

See the

GMT+10:00
