(Solved) I see $datePickerFormatter.format($value) as 'Last Resolution Date'

[Thomas Heidenreich]

Why does this happen, and what can I do?

I think it happens when $value is null. Do a null check in the velocity template where the formatting is done and you should be fine!

The value should not be null, as it is a Last Resolution Date and the issue is resolved.

I didn't do anything but create a custom field as Last Resolution Date and added it to my view. Then I resolved a test issue and found that sting on the page.

Might be an issue with JIRA version. See https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/JCHART-395 for a similar issue. I will raise a fault with JIRA Toolkit plugin if you are using it.

Thanks for pointing me to https://studio.plugins.atlassian.com/browse/JCHART-395 that solved the problem!

Also I found another way to fix it without jira hackig:

1. Add constructor parameter private final DateFieldFormat dateFieldFormat;

2. Override getVelocityParameters method:

@Override
public Map<String, Object> getVelocityParameters(Issue issue, CustomField field, FieldLayoutItem fieldLayoutItem) {
final Map<String, Object> map = super.getVelocityParameters(issue, field, fieldLayoutItem);
map.put("dateFieldFormat", dateFieldFormat);
return map;
}

For me it wasn't necesarry to put datePickerFormatter to velocity params (I run plugin SDK vith jira.version 4.4), but if you need it, you can add map.put("datePickerFormatter", dateTimeFormatterFactory.formatter().forLoggedInUser().withStyle(DateTimeStyle.DATE_TIME_PICKER));

Hope, it helps

Thanks - got the same problem and the same answer!

But I saw on screenshot, that custom field placed in date area. My date CF is placed in main custom field area...
