How to send system date value via confiForms to Jira ticket

Question

Below is my code

{ "fields":

{ "project":

{"key": "AE"},

"issuetype": {"id": "7"},

"summary": "[entry.workRequestDescription]",

"description": "[entry.additionalInformation]",

"customfield_15164": "[systemDate]", => I need to pass system date in this custom field to jira so that this gets changed everyday when ever my form is submitted. Can you please help with the syntax to pass system date?

You can access current system’s timestamp via [entry._now]

To make it readable by Jira you may use a formatDate or jiraDate functions from

"customfield_15164": "[entry._now.jiraDate]"
