Problem/Motivation

The same problem as we had with the Datetime element:
https://www.drupal.org/project/drupal/issues/3087606 →

As getInfo() is only called on cache clear, in some cases we have wrong timezone in $element['#date_timezone'].

Steps to reproduce

In our use case, we have Datelist element as a Webform field. Interesting, when editing Webform Submission from Admin UI, everything works fine, the correct timezone (default one: Europe/Vienna) is in use. But we also have the same Webform exposed on a page, so logged-in users can create/edit submissions. Even with the same user as above (admin), we have the wrong timezone (UTC) in Datelist element, so it makes a big confusion when editing dates in the submission.

Proposed resolution

the same as is already done with the Datetime element

    the only place in core that sets the default timezone based on a user-provided value is the TimeZoneResolver

    But that only happens during a config import if the system date config object is being changed.

    So I'm wondering what in your project is calling date_default_timezone_set with a user-provided value
