copy datetime field to "due date" field

JiraYo

Hey i have a custom field that has a date and time value like '2021-04-30 18:30:00.0'

i want to copy the DATE portion only to the due date field

i can use the copy field JMWE function, but how do i strip the date out?

jira seems to want it in the format "d/MMM/yy" and will fail with a straight copy saying "invalid date format".

how do i transform this value using groovy or some other method?

Have you tried using the Copy Value From Field To Field post-function directly? It will strip the time portion automatically.

yup worked. perfect. glad to see it can handle this natively without over thinking it!

However, be careful about one thing: time zones. Jira handles Date objects (which contain date+time info) on the UTC time zone. So 2021-04-30 18:30:00.0 might end up being converted to 2021-05-01 if you are in the PST time zone and thus your date/time value is 2021-04-30 18:30:00.0-08:00
