Issues writing to Custom Date Field in JPD

[Emily Nash]

I'm having an issue in my attempts to set my JPD date field of Release Date to today/now.

I've tried the following JSON queries and have received the following error messages.  Can anyone help me troubleshoot my error messages and/or able to offer any guidance? Jira AI support has been no help. :/ Thank you!

I've had to post a picture because the Jira form won't event accept my code to ask about it...

Hi @Emily Nash 

Although the JPD date format looks like JSON, it is actually a text string which represents JSON.  Please try this in your advanced edit:

{
  "fields": {
    "customfield_11767": "{\"start\":\"{{now.jiraDate}}\",\"end\":\"{{now.jiraDate}}\"}"
  }
}

Going the other direction to read the date values, please try the new jsonStringToObject() function:

{{jsonStringToObject(issue.customfield_11767).start}}

Kind regards,
Bill
