Add time zone/more detailed time to scheduled tasks

Scheduled tasks have a constant time set in anvil.yaml but it is unclear what time the are actually sent because no time zone is displayed. I set a scheduled task on Pacific Time and then back on Central Time I’m not confident that I know what time it will run.

It says “every 24 hours at *:15”. I think it is running on the timezone I set it from (pacific but I’m really not sure).

Perhaps you can add text that says “Next execution: 4pm CST”?

It is true that you schedule the time in UTC, but there is also the information about the next scheduled run in the client’s local time:

Boom shakalaka. Thank’s stefano, that’s what I needed.

I’m going to bump this feature request.

When I setup a schedule task, I don’t care about the UTC time, I only care about my time.

So, while @woodpav started by mentioning anvil.yaml, I would focus on the UI and ask to make all the references to times in local time.
