Hello.

I posted this question on the stack exchange forums:

My org has events that are often hosted online and participants who register to attend these events live all over the United States. When we create events we make sure to list the timezone in the "complete description" or "event summary" field inside the "info and settings" tab of event creation.

When event confirmation emails (Events - Registration Confirmation and Receipt (on-line) message template) are sent the event time is listed without any timezone info. This behavior makes sense because there is no where, in "info and settings" to configure timzone.

I've created a custom data field set that includes a timezone field and assigned the field set to events. However, I'm unable to add a token for that custom field to the message templates for events. Is there any way to add this information, or should I edit the template to remove any info regarding event time and, as part of the event creation workflow, require users to add the event times to the "confirmation email" text inside the "online registration tab"?

Can a timezone field be added to the event start and end times configuration?  It greatly simplifies event creation workflows to have the event registration message template include the timezone from an event configuration rather than relying on timezone being added to confirmation email text field.  This would also prevent the unedited message template from displaying a time without a timezone when the confirmation email text includes a timezone.  That's really confusing to registrants.

Thanks.

Me neather. Why would you really need it? I think that there are some other solutions?
