Hello,

I am new to Jira and I'm trying to populate a custom value to a custom Jira report. The value is as below.

Recovery Timeline: 31/Dec/19

We use Midori plugin for it and below is the block of code I'm trying to use. Did I miss something?

#set($recoverytimeline = $customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Recovery Timeline"))
#set($recoverytimelinevalue = $issue.getCustomFieldValue($recoverytimeline).getDateString())
<fo:table-cell padding="1mm" border-width="0.5mm" border-style="solid" number-columns-spanned="2" >
<fo:block space-before="1mm">
<fo:block>$xmlutils.escape($recoverytimelinevalue)</fo:block>
</fo:block>
</fo:table-cell>

It was a date field. So I used the below code.

$userDateTimeFormatter.withDefaultZone().withStyle($dateTimeStyle.DATE).format($recoveryimelinevalue)

1. What happens when you use this?
2. What is the type of the "Recovery Timeline" custom field?
3. What is the type of the $recoverytimelinevalue object? (How do you know it provides a getDateString() getter?)

Hi Aron,

It was rendering a blank space when I was using the above code. I called it all wrong. With the below, I was able to populate the required value.

it was a date field. So I used the below code

$userDateTimeFormatter.withDefaultZone().withStyle($dateTimeStyle.DATE).format($recoveryimelinevalue)
