Hello Najmul,

here your post-function script code :

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.CustomFieldManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.fields.CustomField;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue;
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.IssueManager;
import com.atlassian.jira.event.type.EventDispatchOption;

SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy/MM/dd");
IssueManager issueManager = ComponentAccessor.getIssueManager();
Issue issue  = issue;
CustomFieldManager customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager();
CustomField dateField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Date Field");
CustomField textField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Text Field");
if(issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateField)!=null){
    Date val = (Date)issue.getCustomFieldValue(dateField);
    MutableIssue mIssue = (MutableIssue) issue;
    mIssue.setCustomFieldValue(textField, sdf.format(val));
    issueManager.updateIssue(ComponentAccessor.getJiraAuthenticationContext().getLoggedInUser(), mIssue, EventDispatchOption.DO_NOT_DISPATCH, false);
}

Please, update Fields Name and date format at your convenience.

Hope this helps,

Fabio

please could you provide me the desired format?

Hi Fabio,

After creating the ticket the date time field showing me the time as per Indian time zone. As per my knowledge, In database it storing in the form of Singapore time zone.

So when I am trying to run your code it give me the date which is present in the database.

My requirement is that, The date should be come in Inian time zone in the text field.

If you need any more clarification then et me know.

Hi Najmul,

at database level a date is stored as a date (universal) and not as specific timezone. You can define the presentation date format editing the date format into JIRA System Administration panel.

What we need to fix your issue is the desidered date format for your text field :

example yyyy/DD/mm , mm/DD/yyyy, mm-DD-yyyy and so on.

Hope this clarifies,

Fabio

Hi Najmul,

do you need to do that in a transition? if so, you can setup a scripted post function for that purpose.

Let me know.
