how to create custom date field in the format of MM-YY?

assaf lev

Hi Guys,

I have a business requirement to be able to input a date field in the format of MMM-YY only.

examples:

Aug 16 or Nov 15

Can anyone advise on how to do that?

Thanks

Ok, there's a few more options here...

Script runner won't do it, unless what you want to do is put a normal date field on edit screens and then write a scripted field that displays the MMM-YY format you want on view (and search)

Another option, if you don't have too huge a range of dates to worry about might be a cascading select field with yyyy for the first option and then the months in the second option

Possibly the easiest option - have two fields, one with a list of years, and a second with the 12 months in it. No coding or fuss required, but they will be independent of each other (again though, a similar trick to the first one - write a scripted field that combines them for display and search)

You can use

A scripted field (ScriptRunner or JJUpin)
Change the date format globally https://www.kerstner.at/en/2013/01/customizing-date-format-in-jir/
Use add-on like JIRA Misc Custom fields https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/display/JMCF/JIRA+Misc+Custom+Fields#JIRAMiscCustomFields-calculateddatefield It supports custom date format
Other solution - search for another solution in Google

On 4 - google is most likely to give you "write your own add-on to do it..."

@Boris Georgiev [Botron],

first of all thanks for your help.

we do own scriptrunner - but unfortunately I am no scripting expert, still having difficulties working with it, I will really appreciate if you can help me find a more specific answer to using scriptrunner as a solution.
we are not interested in changing the date format globally..
the add-on supports calculated date fields, which are uneditable, this is not a proper solution for us.
as @Nic Brough [Adaptavist] said

Thanks guys!

Somehow I missed the fact that you want to actually edit the field and not just display it...

I'll use the second option you offered.
