Documentation for JIRA 4.4. Documentation for other versions of JIRA is available too.

Atlassian Support likes to use customers' timezones to respond more effectively to support tickets. We extract timezone information automatically, so customers don't need to enter it manually. To do that, we add JavaScript to our custom field description:

Your timezone. The value is set automatically from your browser, so please only modify if it's incorrect. <br>
<b><a href="http://www.worldtimezone.com/" target="timezone">World Timezones</a></b>

<script language="JavaScript"> 

<!-- 
function setCustomerTimezone()
{
	tzlist = document.getElementById("customfield_10421");
	if (tzlist) {
		if (/CreateIssueDetails.jspa/.test(tzlist.form.action)) {
// Value has not yet been set			if (tzlist.value == -1) { 
				offset = new Date().getTimezoneOffset() / 60; // hours from GMT
				if (offset <= 0) { tzlist.value="GMT+"+(-offset);  }
				else { tzlist.value = "GMT-"+offset; }
//			}
		}
	}
}

window.onload = setCustomerTimezone; 

//-->
</script>
