Thanks, Manvendra. I've converted this issue to tech debt.

Hey , the dates in description is not stored in a structured way here, they are stored as a string in database containing the whole text(like “New date: 2023-06-02T04:30:00:000Z (from 2023-04-02T05:30:00:000Z)”). And these description texts can be different, i.e. it can either contain the dates or it can simply be a string(example - “Checked out to proxy: no.)
Thereby, to convert it to Local time will require lot of efforts.
Also this should be a story not a bug with RCA as missing requirement as per my observations as I do not see it being implemented in the code.

Hi and No dev team on this bug, so I added Volaris. Please update if that is not correct. Thank you!

The text description in the circulation log still displaying date/times in UTC
is especially confusing/problematic for cases where an item was checked in via backdating
and a fee/fine resulted.
