DateTime attribute session value not available when executed from queue

[dkho87]

I noticed the following in Mendix 7.23.4 with the latest version of the ProcessQueue module:

We have a Synchronisation entity with an attribute of type DateTime, with Localized = yes.
For example purposes, let's say that a value was stored as UTC 28-06-2019 12:07. Our project is setup with timezone Europe/Amsterdam.

If we try to access the attribute's values from a system (scheduled event) or user context (invoked by user), we get the data available that I expect, namely:
UTC 28-06-2019 10:07 vs. Session time 28-06-2019 12:07

However, from a process triggered by the queue, the following values are available:
UTC 28-06-2019 10:07 vs. Session time 28-06-2019 10:07

Is this intended behaviour? If so, why is there no mention of this in the documentation, or did I overlook something?

The module uses the mendix system context to execute all actions. When developing the assumption was that the system context always has the session time zone that is specified for scheduled events (the setting you configure in the project settings). I can check if there is an API available to influence the time zone of the system context, but if I remember correctly that doesn't exist. In short, I was under the same expectation regarding the session time zonr. But was assuming the default platform behavior could cover this. I'm going to take a look if I can influence the default behavior but I'm not sure the option exists. It might have to become documented behavior.
