Wrong default timezone in workflow settings?

Questions
1

We’re on N8N self-hosted and have set the default timezone, using the environment variable GENERIC_TIMEZONE=Europe/Zurich

When checking this variable in a workflow, the time zone is fetched correctly:
{{$env['GENERIC_TIMEZONE']}} returns Europe/Zurich. :+1:

However, when creating a new workflow, Default - America/New York is displayed in the workflow’s settings.

What am I missing?

Tip for sharing information

Pasting your n8n workflow

Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the code block, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking </> (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow.

```
<your workflow>
```

That implies to any JSON output you would like to share with us.

Make sure that you have removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy or pinned data with it!

I tried 1.67.1 and can see the same. However, when checking the latest, 1.70.3, it works as expected. Upgrading the n8n instance should resolve it for you.

On a side note , there is yet another environment, TZ, you might want to utilize during the deployment if not yet, Docker | n8n Docs.
