Webhook String to custom date field

[Neville]

{{webhookData.fields.Issue_date}}

In webhook data , it's return 2024/04/17.

I tried 

1. {{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.jiraDate}}

2. {{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.jiraDateTime}}

3. {{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.jqlDate}}

4. {{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.jqlDateTime}}

5. {{webhookData.fields.Issue_dateformat("yyyy-MM-dd")}}

6. {{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.toDate()}}


All of them are return null.

I would like to put this value to update a custom date field

Hi @Neville 

thank you for your question. What type of field is Issue_date? 
Is this also a custom field? Or is this webhook data from an external source?

If it is a valid date value, you should be able to populate another field with this issue regardless the date format.

Hi @Kai Becker 

The Webhook data is from external source.

Hi @Neville 

I guess the problem then is the format. Jira needs to recognize the value as a date.

please try the following: 

{{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.toDate()}}

or

{{webhookData.fields.Issue_date.toDate("yyyy/MM/dd")}}
