European server means work items raised in Asia have the wrong due dates?

Anybody have an idea of how to get around the issue where the local dates on your work items are 6 hours out, ie Due Date, because the RQM server is based in Scandinavia and the work item is created in China?

Thanks in advance.

All dates have timezones coded in. The client shows the data relative to the clients timezone. The best solution would be to have an earth absolute standard time (e.g. based on GMT). Unfortunately I don't think we can get agreement on that 8)

I don't know a way to avoid this problem. I would suggest to create an enhancement request to be able to see the date information formatted for the users timezone as well as the servers time zone. Maybe using a hover that shows the original time zone. Not sure if that helps, but I don't think there is any ideal way to deal with this.
