# Set a Base Timezone on a calendar and nothing changed

**What you are seeing**

I set a Base Timezone on a calendar and nothing changed.

---

## Why it happens

Either it only affects the event editor , or the stored zone is not a recognised one, in which case it silently falls back to the viewer's zone with only a browser console warning.

---

## What to do

Re-pick the zone from the searchable list rather than typing it, and remember the grid never uses it.
