Jira automation date false format

[Johannes Ruhl]

Hello everyone,

I have a custom field as "Date Picker".

When the automation kicks in the date shows up as yyyy-mm-dd and not dd-mm-yyyy in a linked text field.

Is it possible to change this behavior?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi @Johannes Ruhl

By using smart values you can change the date format. Jira doesn't have a built-in option to directly change the date format for a Date Picker field

{{issue.customfield_XXXXX.format("dd-MM-yyyy")}}
