Issue creation date format

[Simon Bauer]

Hi folks,

it came to my attention that when our employees browse different issues there's always a small box on the right with date of creation, last update and so on.

However sometimes it's like "6 days ago" and sometimes there's the exact date and time.

My questions here are:

Which factors influence whether the time is shown as "6 days ago" or an exact date?

Is it possible to display always the date/time only? If so, how?

We're hosting JIRA 6.3.14.

Thanks in advance!

Simon

It gives you the friendly human text if the date is within the last week (and the exact one if you hover over the date)

To turn it off, see https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/JIRA/__date+and+time+formats but beat in mind this is a global setting.

Thanks.

i am able to convert date format.

issue.getCreated().toLocalDateTime().format(java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter.ofPattern("dd/MMM/yy h:mm a"))
