Description

Hi, I would like to ask regarding adding new event in calendar. If I want to add new event straight from the calendar, I need to specify the time and date. But is it possible to change the timestamp sent from the UI to the server, from UTC to for example Asia/Jakarta? Because for now, i need to calculate when inputting the time. For example:
- Time I want to input in Jakarta is 14:00 to 16:00
- Meaning I have to input 07:00 to 09:00 because of the UTC default time.

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by tracing the calendar event creation flow from the UI to the server, then verify how UTC and Asia/Jakarta timestamps are interpreted; done means users can enter local event times without manual UTC conversion and the behavior is covered by relevant tests.
