Format date in 'Add a date using a calendar' using smart values

[Glenn Peeters]

I want to create a automation that comments a date in the format 'Add a date using a calendar'.

[Glenn Peeters]

Can someone confirm or deny that this it possible?

I'm not 100% sure about the formatting of the description/comment (rich text) field as I assume you're looking at here. I know that Atlassian uses a storage format that is similar to HTML and you could try something like the following

<time datetime='{{now.jiraDateTime}}' />

I tried this but the html format does not work as in it comments it as text and I just use

{{now.jiraDateTime}}

, it just gives the datetime in text.
