Product Discovery Timeline Date Field Formatting in Automated Message

[Jim Delloso]

In a Jira Discovery project, we have a Date field that allows users to choose a Day, Month, or Quarter.  We've titled the field with the word "Month" to direct our users to choose a Month.

Now, I am trying to write an automation that triggers upon editing an issue.  It will display the contents of this field in a Slack message.

• Variable in Automation Message Component (Send Slack Message):  {{issue.estimated actual ga month}}
• Value of Field:  December 2022
• Return Data: {"start":"2022-12-01","end":"2022-12-31"}

Is there formatting I can apply to change the Return Data to: December 2022 or 12/2022?

I tried appending format("<pattern>"): {{issue.estimated actual ga month.format("MM/YYYY")}} but it returns nothing.

Thanks in advance.

Try below code

{{issue.estimated actual ga month.start.format("MM/YYYY")}}

Thanks for the help.  Unfortunately, it does not work.  It returns no value.

I also tried 

{{issue.estimated actual ga month.start}}

and it returns no value as well.
