Run system flow at configurable timezone

System flows are now running at UTC time.

With this behaviour it’s not (easily) possible to run a system flow on a fixed time in a specific timezone f.e. at 00:00:10 at Amsterdam time, even if there is a switch from or to the Dailight saving time period. (Summertime/Wintertime)
 

I would think of a parameter where you can choose the timezone. If you choose UTC it runs like it does now. If you put it on Amsterdam It follows the Amsterdam time zone. There is a system flow log so during the switch to wintertime (Where the time is reset to 1 hour earlier) the system can check this log if it has already run for that specific moment, preventing it runs twice in that specific )switchover night)

This is one of the main points of ‘high-maintenance’ we are still experiencing with our current application. Therefore it has my vote 👍🏻.
The provided solution as a workaround in System flow start at GMT | Thinkwise Community is not something we are willing to implement.

I think a parameter to set the timezone for all the system flows would be a solution that would fit. Perhaps this should be application specific, but we have no use-case for that.
