Bug: Cannot change timezone after an event has been created.

[jonnymarshall]

Describe the bug
Cannot change timezone after an event has been created.

To Reproduce

1. Create an event
2. Go to 'manage' > 'edit options'
3. Attempt to click on where it tells you the timezone, or 'Automatic Time Conversion' (see screenshot)
4. Neither option is clickable. The former is greyed out. The latter changes the cursor to the unactionable symbol.

Expected behavior
You should be able to click and change the timezone on the right. And toggle 'Automatic Time Conversion' on/off after creating an event.

Screenshots
If applicable, add screenshots to help explain your problem.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS Sonoma Version 14.4.1 (23E224)
• Browser: Chrome
• Version: Version 124.0.6367.92 (Official Build) (arm64)

Additional context
I seem to remember that in the past this feature has worked. But right now I can't change either of these settings on either a new or past scheduling poll.

Hi @jonnymarshall, this is a known issue. Unfortunately I had to disable this due to some underlying changes that are happening to how dates are stored. Enabling this right now would mean that all the times would need to be updated and all existing votes will be reset. I have a plan to bring this back but it will require a few iterations. I apologize for the inconvenience. I'll keep this issue open until this is resolved.

OK thanks for the update. One possible temporary fix for this could be that when you duplicate a poll, that it doesn't lock in the times.

So essentially it would duplicate a pre-saved poll with all the poll options in a pending state, and then you'd have the option to change the timezone before committing it.

Not sure if this is still not possible given the underlying issue(s), but it would at least be a big improvement on having to create an entirely new event and put in all the options again.

Thanks @jonnymarshall, I do have plans to support that as well however I would like to update the poll creation flow to handle this more efficiently first. I'll try to bump this up in the backlog though.
