# 2025-03-21: Site Settings Service - timezone field added

## Overview

The `timezone` field has been added to the `site.homeBase` request and response body. For now, this field is used by the Sequential ID Service to generate fallback values for placeholders such as:

* `__year__`
* `__month__`
* `__day__`
* `__hour__`
* `__minute__`
* `__second__`
