SMP - Agentry Client Time Zone Error

[jorismermans]

In SMP (3.0.8) log we see error:

Client Time Zone '(UTC+00:00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London' alias was not found in TimeZoneAliases in Agentry.ini

I tried adding this Alias, but after entering this alias in the Time Zone Alias textarea in the SMP Cockpit. Checking the Agentry.ini file can see that the the Alias is altered to (UTC+00%3A00) Dublin, Edinburgh, Lisbon, London

So the colon (:) is automatically url escaped, and the timezone alias is not mapped. (i tried escaping the colon by using '\:', same result)

Is there a workaround?

Why is it that the Agentry Client (70.9.5.17)(Windows 10) does not send a short timezone alias to the server (like GMT Standard Time)?

Any ideas?

I did try to change the settings of the device and putting it on some exotic time zones.

Then i put it back on GMT Standard Time and now the alias is set to the short timezone name.

So issue solved - thx for the help!
