In distributed setups, HTML email notifications previously rendered the "Event date" using the timezone of the site that sent the email. When the central site processed notifications forwarded from a remote site in a different timezone, the timestamp neither reflected when the event actually occurred on the remote nor included a timezone indicator, making it ambiguous.

The state-change timestamps for "Event date" are now pre-rendered on the originating site, so the email shows the event time in the timezone of the site where the state change happened and includes the timezone abbreviation, e.g. "2026-05-19 14:32:11 AEST".

This also affects the "Event date" column in HTML bulk notifications.
