How to deal with optional confiForms fields when passing data to JIRA create issue api

jokolbe

I have an optional Form Field in my form

name: due
field type: Date
format: yyyy-MM-dd

Using ConfiForms IFTTT Integration Rules
event: onCreated
action: Create JIRA Issue

I'm passing the following:

{ 
  "fields": {
    ...
    "duedate": "[entry.due]",
    ...
  }
}

 

Since it's an optional field, when I do not fill out value I'm getting the following error:

com.atlassian.sal.api.net.ResponseException: Error communicating with Jira, Bad Request {"errorMessages":[],"errors":{"duedate":"Error parsing date string: "}}

How do I deal with passing optional fields into Creating JIRA issue call?

We have a virtual function to help you specifically with that

"duedate": "[entry.due.jiraDate]"

Optional fields can be handled with Velocity templating, as shown here: https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/CONFIFORMS/Configuring+ConfiForms+IFTTT+actions+and+rules#ConfiguringConfiFormsIFTTTactionsandrules-CreateJiraIssue

(unless it is disabled for ConfiForms app by your system admin)
