I am trying to autopopulate a field with hour of the day

[shankara vijayendran]

when a issue is created based on the created time the field "Timer for resolution" should be autopopulated only with hour of the day 

say created time is 13.00.00 

The field should populate with 13

Hi @shankara vijayendran ,

consider using Automation smartvalue as below. You can use mediumtime possibly?

{{[date].[dateformat]}}

Takes a date and time that you provide, and returns it in a format of your choosing. This is useful for converting the default output for dates (jiraDateTime), to a format that is easier to read. You can add a dateformat to the end of any of the date smart values listed on this page.

The full list of formats are below:

Format	Thursday, November 1, 1979 6:23:12 AM UTC
Default (none specified)	1979-11-01T11:23:12.0+0000
jiraDate	1979-11-01
jiraDateTime	1979-11-01T06:23:12.0-0500
jqlDate	1979-11-01
jqlDateTime	1979-11-01 06:23
shortDate	11/1/79
shortTime	6:23 AM
shortDateTime	11/1/79 6:23 AM
mediumDate	Nov 1, 1979
mediumTime	6:23:12 AM
mediumDateTime	Nov 1, 1979 6:23:12 AM
longDate	November 1, 1979
longTime	6:23:12 AM EST
longDateTime	November 1, 1979 6:23:12 AM EST
fullDate	Thursday, November 1, 1979
fullTime	6:23:12 AM EST
fullDateTime	Thursday, November 1, 1979 6:23:12 AM EST
format("<pattern>") e.g. format("dd/MM/yyyy") Refer to the Java documentation for pattern syntax.	01/11/1979

Hi @shankara vijayendran - My name is Habib maybe this might also help.

To autopopulate the "Timer for resolution" field in Jira Software with only the hour of the day based on the created time of the issue, you can create a post function that extracts the hour from the created time and sets it as the value of the custom field. Here's how you can achieve this:

1. Navigate to the Jira Software project where you want to configure the post function and go to the "Project settings" page.
2. Click on the "Workflows" option in the left-hand menu and select the workflow that is associated with the issue type you want to configure.
3. Click on the transition where you want to add the post function. A transition is an action that moves an issue from one status to another, such as "Open" to "In Progress".
4. Click on the "Post functions" tab and click on the "Add post function" button to add a new post function.
5. Select the "Script Post-Function" option from the list of available post functions.
6. In the "Script" section, enter the following script:

```
import java.time.LocalTime;def createdTime = issue.getCreated();
def hour = LocalTime.from(createdTime).getHour();
issue.setCustomFieldValue(customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjectByName("Timer for resolution"), hour);

```In this script, we first retrieve the created time of the issue using the `getCreated()` method. We then use Java's `LocalTime` class to extract the hour component of the created time using the `getHour()` method. Finally, we set the value of the "Timer for resolution" custom field to the extracted hour using the `setCustomFieldValue()` method.

7.Save the post function and publish the workflow changes.

Now, when an issue is created or transitioned through the transition where you added the post function, the "Timer for resolution" field will be autopopulated with the hour of the day based on the created time of the issue.

I hope this has also helped.

Thank you Habib

@shankara vijayendran 

In your case you can inform de Field in Automation with this value:

{{issue.created.format("H")}}
