My Kibana was configured to use Browser's default timezone, and I created a few visualizations.

Later I change my timezone to UTC. It didn't reflect on the existing visualization. I got a query from my team, that data is not exactly valid.

Later when debugging I verified from the network call, that timezone being sent is the one which was Browser's TZ at the time of creating visualization.

Is it something expected?

> Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to set a timezone when creating a visualation, within the advanced JSON input section. The purpose for this is so that when the visualisation is viewed, the same results are displayed no matter where you are based. Regards, Gearoid

^ Basis on this it looks like a bug.

(Kibana 6.6.0)
