Hi @Emmanuel Ajayi

if I understand correctly, you want to transfer all data from a Date Picker field into a Date Time Picker field.

There's different ways of doing this; 

• I've seen people use Jira Automation to copy over the data.
• You should be able do a CSV export of your Date Picker field, and then do a CSV import into your Date Time Picker field.

I haven't done these myself and can't comment on any details, but perhaps someone else can lean in.

Alternatively, if you're open to solutions from the Atlassian Marketplace, this would be easy to do using the app that my team and I are working on, JXL for Jira.

JXL is a full-fledged spreadsheet/table view for your issues that allows viewing, inline-editing, sorting, and filtering by all your issue fields, much like you’d do in e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. It also allows bulk-editing your issue fields via copy/paste, like so:

As you can see above, copy/paste works across issue fields, and even issue fields of different types (like Date Picker and Date Time Picker). You can also copy/paste back and forth between JXL and pretty much any other app, like e.g. Excel or Google Sheets. As you can update any number of issues and fields in one action, you should be done with your work in no time.

I should add that JXL can do much more than the above: From support for configurable issue hierarchies, to issue grouping by any issue field(s), sum-ups, or conditional formatting.

Any questions just let me know, 

Best,

Hannes

Wow!

I have been using the JXL sheet for a while and i never knew it could do that. I tried it and worked. You are a life saver!!

Hello @Emmanuel Ajayi,

I am part of the Decadis team and, if you are open to using an app, this could be easily done with our post function Update fields from our app JWT for Jira Cloud.

After configuring the post function as needed and executing it during a transition, the value of the Date Picker field would be transferred to the Date Time Picker field.

If you are interested in our app and want to learn more about this approach, please, feel free to reply to us in this thread, to create a request in our Support Portal or to visit our documentation.

Best regards,

Vicente
