The CRM system uses UTC to store and process datetimes.
The system offsets any times it stores with an end-user timezone mostly for viewing purposes but this would happen anytime a datetime is accessed for any reason.
This causes problems when sending automated emails.
The system uses UTC when it sends emails outside of a user context which causes every single datetime used in an email template to be incorrect if the email wasn't sent due to an end-user action.
When a user views a GMT datetime when the actual date is BST, the viewed datetime would also be incorrect.
This issue affects all SuiteCRM versions I have used 7.10 -> 7.14
Possible Fix
implement a system timezone to offset datetimes during automation (outside user context)
do not mix BST and GMT
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
1. create a workflow or logic hook which extracts the time from a datetime to something like a text field for a record
2. set this datetime to a date in november on your record (GMT)
3. set your system time to a date or time within BST
4. trigger the workflow / logic hook
5. observe the incorrect time on the textfield
...
Context
sending out meeting notifications to delegates and the delegates showing up an hour early.
