Timezone setting doesn't take effect

Describe the problem/error/question

I am trying to get n8n setup in runtipi, adding the GENERIC_TIMEZONE= to the environment part of the docker compose file. Have tried 3 different zones, Australia/Melbourne, Australia/Sydney and just for laughs a random one in America. The issue stays the same, in settings for a workflow the timezone still just says Default America/New York.
I have also made sure the TZ value is set to match.
I have also rebooted the server and even fully reset the app (wipes all data etc).

any ideas?

What is the error message (if any)?

No error, the change just doesn’t do anything.

Please share your workflow

no specific workflow.

Information on your n8n setup

  • **n8n version:**1.67.1
  • **Database (default: SQLite):**default
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):**docker deployed via runtipi

hmm ok… more testing shows that it is using my specified timezone correctly for scheduled run times etc… its just in the workflow settings it’s still showing default timezone as America/New York… maybe just a ui bug?

Both of those time zones should work, can you share the exact value you are using when setting it?

I wonder if maybe you have them wrapped in " or something.

GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Australia/Sydney

I have tried it with quotes as well just in case but thats not correct so doesn’t work either.
