Qlik Replicate Support for datetimeoffset for SQL Server Target

A majority of my task in Qlik Replicate consist of a PostgreSQL source replicating to a SQL Server target. the vast majority of my PostgreSQL source tables consist of timestamp with TZ datatype. this datatype stores the timestamp value with a timezone offset. When that is replicated over to my SQL Server target, Qlik Replicate adds (or subtracts) the timezone offset converting the datetime to UTC. Why does Qlik Replicate not support the datetimeoffset datatype in SQL Server? Currently, have ~80 task where I am having this issue. When we made the move to Qlik Replicate this presented a lot of manual work to Sql Server stored procedures to account for the new time affecting or client reporting.

My understanding is that PostgreSQL and SQL Server are mature endpoints for Qlik/Attunity, so I don't understand why I this datatype is not supported. Am I the only one with this issue? Has this been solved already?
