Pass the release date to a date custom field

[leigh.crawford]

Hello!

We have a workaround we are testing for how we need the releases module to work.  One part of this is we are building automation that will update an "Updated Date" field on a release ticket when the release date changes. Updated Date is a Date Picker field.

I have a variable in my automation "releaseDate" and have tried: 

{{version.releaseDate.jiraDate}}

{{version.releaseDate.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}}

Both produce this in the log: 

Release Name is LC 2.5 and Date is 2023-08-03

However, I get this in the log as well as the error:

Error editing issues

JSB-189 (The Updated Date must be of the format "yyyy-MM-dd" (customfield_11463))

The format looks right to me....how do I get this to work?

Whenever asking for help with an Automation Rule it will help us help you if you post screen images that show us all the steps in your rule. Sometimes problems are due to the current context of a step, but we can determine that without seeing the whole rule.

Additionally show us the details of the step where you are trying to set Updated Date, and since you mentioned using a variable also show us the details of how you set the variable.
