Setting current date in Date Type derived from DateCFType

[Christian Unbehend]

Hi Fidel,

for some Reasons we need a derived date data type FutureDateCF/ReadOnlyDateCF in JIRA. Searchers are defined.

We want to set current date in such a user defined field and tried to use 'Mathematical or date-time expression calculator' for it. But we cannot select those fields in the 'Target Field' select box. Can You help? We see standard Date Type fields only..

Regards Christian

Hi Christian,

Is that custom field type provided by a third party plugin? Which plugin?

You can also use a "Calculated Date-Time Field" custom field, which is available since JWT 2.2.29.

You simply have to use the following expression:

{00057}

where {00057} is code for numerical value of Current date and time.

Hi Fidel, FutureDateCF and ReadOnlyDateCF are types of our own plugin developed for that particular customer. These types enrich the standard functionality of DateCFType with application specific extensions and it would be a lot of work to replace them.

With fields of that type we have another issue regarding the toolbox PFs 'Read fields from linked issues or subtasks'/ 'Write field on linked issues or subtasks' but I'll create a new issue for that.

Since version 2.2.27 JIRA Workflow Toolbox provided improved support for unknown third party plugins.

Please, try updating to the most recent version of the plugin.
