Creating Script Field of using template "Date"

Raju Kadam_c0cwlg

We need to display first value that Date field was set. Steps that I've are:

1. From Change History, get 1st Change for this field
2. Later using the Formatter object, convert it into a Date object.
3. Return the formatted date to display using *Date* Template

 

{code}

//Find out date when device was deployed 1st time!

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import static com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueFieldConstants.*
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;

def last_deployed_date_first_change_item = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getChangeItemsForField(issue, "Last Deployed Date").first()

def formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
def first_deployed_date = formatter.parse(last_deployed_date_first_change_item?.to)
formatter.format(first_deployed_date)
{code}

 

When Date template selected, it throws $dateFormatterWithoutTime.format($value) error. But with Text Field (multi-line) it just works fine.

Since we need Date object that can be used in JQL later, we would like to create a field of type Date.

Let's know what's wrong with the script.

Hello Raju,

 

try with the following code

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

def last_deployed_date_first_change_item = ComponentAccessor.getChangeHistoryManager().getChangeItemsForField(issue, "Last Deployed Date").first()

def formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
def first_deployed_date = formatter.parse(last_deployed_date_first_change_item?.to)
//def formattedDate = formatter.format(first_deployed_date)

return new Date(first_deployed_date.time)
