Format date in email from automation

Zaki Ögmundsson March 31, 2022

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to customize the email notification for an automation I've created.
I'm trying to display the date time of a custom field which is in datetime format but the date that is displayed in the email is not in the same format as in the issue.

The custom field displays the date in the following format:

The settings for the automation look like this:

The date is displayed in the email as follows:

Does anyone know how to format the date in the settings for the automation?

 

Thanks,

Zaki

Hi @Zaki Ögmundsson  Welcome to Atlassian Community!

Currently it's showing in JiraDateTime format. You have to set format of Date field :- 

try this :- {{issue.customfield_10133.shortDateTime}}

Thanks
