User macro not working as expected after version upgrade and DataCenter migration

[Oficina Calidad y Mejora Continua]

Server version before upgrade: 7.13.7

Data Center version: 7.19.8

Previously, we had this code and everything worked fine:

## @noparams
$action.dateFormatter.format($content.currentDate)

That displayed the format DD-MMMMMMMM-YYYY. Ex: 25-May-2023

After the migration, we found that the user's macro does not display anything, just "$action.dateFormatter.format($content.currentDate)". Just show the date with:

## @noparams
$content.currentDate

That displays the following format: Thu May 25 12:46:42 CEST 2023

Can anyone figure out this conundrum?

You're hitting this known bug, sorry "feature" :-) : [CONFSERVER-82741] Variables in user macro are not resolved - Create and track feature requests for Atlassian products.

There's a workaround or you can try to upgrade to 7.19.9.

Given the code in your user macro, this flag should work:

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dmacro.required.velocity.context.keys=action,req,content ${CATALINA_OPTS}"
