Please let us change calendar time zone!

Please let us change calendar time zone!

I know it’s not possible. But it should be. So many of us have written about this stupid issue:


“Calendar time zone (PDT) differs from business (CDT)”

 

I travel a lot. But I only do business in my business time zone. This is an ongoing issue that seems like it could be a simple fix…yet it’s been years of people complaining in these message boards with no remedy. Is Square ever going to enable this feature? I want my calendar time zone to always match my business time zone, no matter where I am, so I’m not having to add or subtract hours in my head while trying to book appts. I know changing the time zone on my device will fix this, but that is a stupid work around that messes up the time for everything else on the device. How hard is it to have a simple drop-down box to choose your calendar’s time zone or a checkbox to sync your calendar’s time zone to your business’ time zone? It’s not rocket science people. Please enable this feature already!

I'm having the same issue!! Calendar time zone should be locked to the business location by default!

Any updates on the feature request? It is incredibly difficult to manage my business while I'm traveling. Also, what's the purpose of the "Preferred Time Zone" selection? I have it set to PST but calendar time zone is still changing while I travel
