Date/time format in Jira Issues Macro

[Michael Gaskin]

I have two custom fields named "Start Time" and "End Time" which are displayed in a Jira Issues macro. Currently, they are being abstracted so that the value of "18/May/19 12:55 PM" shown in Jira is displayed as "May 18, 2019" in Confluence. 

This is not useful for me, since the time of day is important for this report. Is there any way I can override this default formatting?

Hello Michael,

There was a feature request submitted for the time not displaying within the Jira Macro within Confluence. This feature request was reported as “won’t fix” as there is a workaround that can be used to allow for time to be displayed. The workaround is as follows:

Set the Date Format in Confluence Administration > General Configuration > Formatting and International Settings to include time (matching the Date Time Format):

MMM dd, yyyy HH:mm

The feature request was: CONFCLOUD-41529

I hope this workaround proves helpful and allows you to display time within your Jira issue macro within Confluence.

Regards,
Stephen Sifers

Is there any way to set this for spaces or templates? I need "day of the week" and dd.mm.yyyy

Otherwhise it would help me a lot if I can cerate date fields that are automatically updatet.
A table and the first date is today the second is tomorow and so on
If today is gone and tomorrow is today the dates should be automatically adjusted

:D I know crazy! :D
