time zone query

It seems that neither of the choice for time zones suits my needs.

If I have the NY override on, then everything goes to the NY time zone, even if I'm making a new appointment from overseas and want it to show the overseas time.

If I leave the override off, it shows everything in the local time, even if it's an event I want to set up for NY.

So, what I really need is a setting that will keep the time that I put in, not change it whether I'm in NY, France, London, Thailand or anywhere else. I want to know that the time is correct for wherever the event will take place - even if made from a different country.

How can I get the calendar to accommodate me?

Calendar allows you to “fix” the timezone “per appointment” to virtually any geographical location.


e.g. Setting an appointment for “1300 Tuesday 2023-06-20 in New Delhi will then display at the correct local time on YOUR device(s) regardless of your actual physical location.


This is - IMO - the best way to do it as the computer prevents you from having to perform the error-prone mental gymnastics needed to account for the IDL AND the non-uniformity of DST changes - at both locations - into account.


”Override” - as you’ve discovered - forces everything onto your default - presumably “home” - timezone.


The default behavior places the event in the time zone you’re “actually in” when scheduling the event.
