Changing default work hours for dragging items in Gantt/Team Planner view
Dale asked me to take a look at this and here is what I found.
This is an interesting issue. I can drag tasks around all day on the Gantt Chart view and they always pop right onto the correct 9:30 AM start time, but, if I try to drag on the Team Planner view, they always pop to the incorrect 8:00 AM.
Of course dragging tasks around normally results in a start-no-earlier-than constraint and if you look at the Constraint Date in Team Planner view the constraint date always takes on an 8:00 AM time. In the Team Planner view if you drag a task and then double click to open the Task Information and reset the constraint date time to 9:30 AM, it “sticks”. I had a couple instances that once the constraint date time was “corrected” for one task, that setting translated to other tasks, but not always.
Not sure it this helps much but at least it's another input.

You're welcome and thanks for the feedback. One thing I should note. In your original post you indicated you changed the working times of the Standard calendar. If that is true then I'll tell you it is not good practice. Any modifications to the calendar should be done with a new custom calendar, which may be based on the Standard, but don't modify the Standard calendar itself.

Thanks yeah - this was very much a last resort change - in case some quirk of Project meant it was depending on those values instead of the project specific ones. I'll probably change it back.
- In fact, I've updated the original post to indicate that shouldn't be replicated by anyone else discovering this later.
