How do I populate the Date Picker Field into the automation email?

[Ronald Lam]

Hi

I created a custom date picker field in a request for new starter requests.

I am able to use these two fields below to populate the requests which someone types in a form

New Username: {{issue.customfield_10115}}

Preferred E-mail Address: {{issue.customfield_10128}}

How do I get the automation to pickup the date of an employee start date?

I created a custom date picker for people to put in a date of a new employee

I can't figure out what to put to fetch this date.

I tried  

{{issue.customfield_10129}}

{{issue.datepicker_10129}}

{{issueEmployee Start Date}}

but they don't work and I can't find anywhere on the internet that tells me which formula to use?

Hi Ronald - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Depending on the format you want to see, try this:

{{issue.customfield_10129.mediumDate}}
