There are a few standard timezones missing from the `Insert Date / Time` feature that we use fairly regularly. Primarily `IST` (Indian Standard Time), `JST` (Japan Standard Time, although `Japan` is an option), and `KST` (Korean Standard Time).
It would be nice to have those as options for our community members in those timezones.

I have added a fix for this in
[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/20114](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/20114)
The reason why some of these timezone names aren’t available is a little complicated. We use Moment.js for dates, and Moment’s timezone list comes from the [IANA time zone identifier](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tz_database_time_zones) list, which returns `Asia/Kolkata` for Indian Standard Time. Moment also includes aliases, but the full list of aliases is very long, so for now I have added aliases manually for the requested timezones.
