Trying to understand times in Jira using convertToTimeZone

james September 21, 2023

I'm creating an Automation when an issue is cancelled, whereby the most recent comment is included in an email to a team lead, along with the comment author and comment time. When I use:
{{issue.comments.last.created.mediumDateTime}}, the time is 12 hours out (likely UTC or GMT). As such, I need to convert it to my timezone, so I have been trying:
{{issue.comments.last.created.mediumDateTime.convertToTimeZone("Pacific/Auckland")}}

When I use this, the Automation succeeds, but the time is absent from the output.

How can I get the time the most recent comment was created, and in a user-readable, timezone-appropriate format?

I've discovered the answer to my question and am posting it here in case someone else comes across my question later. The date/time should be converted before being formatted, like the following:

{{issue.comments.last.created.convertToTimeZone("Pacific/Auckland").mediumDateTime}}
