问题描述 / Problem:
When a date-time value is set via Notion API (including Notion AI), the date picker's timezone selector always defaults to
UTC
, regardless of:
  1. The user's account timezone setting (mine is set to GMT+8 Shanghai)
  2. The timezone offset provided in the ISO-8601 string (e.g.,
    2025-12-15T09:00:00+08:00
    )
This means every time I open the date picker to edit a time, I have to manually switch the timezone from UTC to my local timezone (Shanghai). This is especially frustrating when:
  • Notion AI creates or updates tasks for me — each update resets the picker to UTC
  • The date property is synced with external apps (e.g., TickTick) that depend on accurate timezone display
期望功能 / Feature Request:
  1. Column-level default timezone
    : Allow users to set a default timezone for a Date property in the database schema, so all values in that column default to the specified timezone in the picker.
  2. API timezone persistence
    : When a datetime is set via API with a timezone offset (e.g.,
    +08:00
    ), preserve that timezone in the date picker instead of converting everything to UTC display.
  3. Inherit from account settings
    : At minimum, the date picker should default to the user's account timezone setting, not UTC.
Impact:
This issue breaks the workflow for users who rely on Notion AI or automations to manage tasks, and who sync Notion with external calendar/task apps.
