How to manipulate date & time in JIRA automation?

[Shikh Ahmad Hafidz Bin Shikh Ahmad Marzuki]

When i use this smart value:

{{issue.created.setTimeZone("Asia/Shanghai")}}

this is how the date and time displayed:

2020-05-28T01:46:06.7+0800

What can I do for the time to display in more proper way for example like 14:00 instead of T01:46:06.7+0800?

Hi @Shikh Ahmad Hafidz Bin Shikh Ahmad Marzuki ,

This is what I use:

{{issue.customField_17038.convertToTimeZone("America/Chicago").longDateTime}}

It's working. Thanks a lot!

Specifically, the section for "Time zone". Hope that helps!
