Removing the time from created date

[Todd Thelin]

I have created an automation script that will email an admin when an issue is created. When the email is sent, I send the created date in the email. The problem is that the created date is a date/time field and when it sends the email it looks like this: 2020-05-14T19:11:39.8+0000. Can this data be manipulated before it is sent out? I would like to strip the time at least and if it is possible, change the date to be more readable. Thank you

Hi Todd,

If you are using Automation for Jira you can use this:

{{issue.Created.convertToTimeZone("America/Chicago").longDateTime}}

Just change for your Time Zone if need be.
