What is the proposed idea/solution?

We would love it if we could automatically set all Bases in a workspace to a single, non-UTC default time zone. It may also be helpful for other users to be able to set individual Bases, or all fields in an individual Table.

How does this solve the user problems?

For users with many bases, that each have many tables, which each have many fields, it is tedious to fix time zone errors manually. Being able to set a global time zone option would dramatically speed up workflow for anyone who uses Calendar Views that port data in from several different Bases.

Who is the target audience?

Workspace management end users.

I would love to see this, too. I went looking for a setting today where I could specify that, which I couldn't find. And that is what led me here.

We have many tables that all have a multitude of date fields. Having to set each one individually is not an optimal solution.

Airtable gurus, please? 🙌 Thanks!

Please add the option to set a global timezone!

I was just about to make my own request for this. It drives me nuts. I live in Vermont, and never once has my business ever worked on anything that is outside of EST. Despite this, I'm constantly making bodged together formulas to correct for timezone errors. I should only have to use formulas to correct timezones for edge cases. Even if I was working in a globe spanning company, I imagine we'd want to set our meridian to our headquarters.
