Scriptrunner Issue Closed Date as Datetime picker

Question

I have a scripted field that gets the date an issue  was closed using this code:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
def changeHistoryManager = componentManager.getChangeHistoryManager()
changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").find {it.toString == "Closed"}?.getCreated()

Which works OK as a text field but I want to use it as a date time field - so it apears with all the other dates on the screen.

I just get:

$datePickerFormatter.format($value)

I had the same problem. Make sure to set the correct search (a date searcher) on the scripted field. That fixed my problems.

Nope still get:

$datePickerFormatter.format($value)

when I try to use it as a datetime picker.
Thanks for the ideas though.

Try this one:

import com.atlassian.jira.ComponentManager
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
def componentManager = ComponentManager.getInstance()
def changeHistoryManager = componentManager.getChangeHistoryManager()
String closed = changeHistoryManager.getChangeItemsForField(issue, "status").find {it.toString = "Closed"}?.getCreated().toString()
Date frmt =  new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss").parse(closed)
return new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(frmt)
