**Your software**  
CentOS 8.2  
mautic 3.1.1-rc  
php 7.3.22

**Your problem**  
Preferred Timezone in Contacts is showing:

Europe/Helsinki instead of Europe/Vienna

CentOS timedateclt is showing me:  
timedatectl status  
Local time: Wed 2020-09-23 20:36:24 CEST  
Universal time: Wed 2020-09-23 18:36:24 UTC  
RTC time: Wed 2020-09-23 18:36:24  
Time zone: Europe/Vienna (CEST, +0200)

in /etc/php.ini i’ve set:

;date.timezone = Europe/Vienna

So where is this Helsinki coming from?
