Need a Smart Value for a Bilingual Issue Description

[Vincenzo Ciaravella]

I'm working in a Jira Data Center environment and cannot seem to find a Smart Value in Jira Automation that will allow me to insert a Smart Value in the French language for "Months" of the year.  I have identified the proper English ones but when I try to apply Smart Value functions (found on the "Cloud documentation") pertaining to Language I get no results.  I got no errors but no results either (see list of Smart Value attempts below)

• {{now.format.withLocale("fr").mediumDate}}
• {{now.format.locale("fr_CA").mediumDate}}
• {{now.format.withLocale("fr").asLongDateTime}}
• {{now.format.locale("fr_CA").longDateTime}}
• {{now.format.withLocale("fr").mediumDate}}
• {{now.format.locale("french_CA").mediumDate}}
• {{now.format("MMMM").withLocale("fr_CA")}}

The ones that I need that are functioning in English are:

• {{now.format("MMMM yyyy")}}
• {{now.format("MMMM")}}
• {{now.endOfMonth.format("MMMM dd, yyyy")}}
• {{now.lastBusinessDayOfMonth.plusBusinessDays(1).format("MMMM dd, yyyy")}}

Any idea on how to successfully translate the month to French in each of my English examples?

Thanks,
Vince

Hi @Vincenzo Ciaravella ,

seems like working on my side:

Have you tried to first use the .locale() and then the .format() ?

following smart value worked for me:

 {{now.locale("fr").format("MMMM yyyy")}}

Please let me know if this helps.
