Scriptrunner date parse

[Žygimantas Levandauskas]

In scriptrunner console i am trying to parse date from String. The server outputs me: Wed Apr 05 16:41:00 EEST 2017

Purpose: Put sysdate value to custom date time field using scriptrunner post functcion.

I need: 2017/04/05 16:41 or 2017.04.05 16:41

import org.apache.log4j.Category;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
def cal1 = Calendar.getInstance();
String format = "yyyy/MM/dd HH:mm";
SimpleDateFormat sdfSource = new SimpleDateFormat(format);
String formatedDate = sdfSource.format(cal1.getTime());
formatedDate
//new Date().parse("yyyy/M/d HH:mm", formatedDate)

Date settings:

Hello,

Many thanks to your answer. It worked. I modified the code a little.

import com.atlassian.jira.issue.Issue
import org.apache.log4j.Logger
import org.apache.log4j.Level
import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import groovy.time.*
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.util.DefaultIssueChangeHolder
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.ModifiedValue
import org.apache.log4j.Category;
import java.text.DateFormat;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.sql.Timestamp
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue
def log = Logger.getLogger("zyglev")
log.setLevel(Level.DEBUG)
MutableIssue issue = issue
def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObjects(issue).find {it.name == "Start date"}
def customFieldValue = issue.getCustomFieldValue(customField)
if (customFieldValue)
{
return 0
}
else
{
def todaysDateTime = new Timestamp((new Date()).time)
issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, todaysDateTime)
}

You can do this with the following code in a custom scripted post-function:

import com.atlassian.jira.component.ComponentAccessor
import com.atlassian.jira.issue.MutableIssue

import java.sql.Timestamp

MutableIssue issue = issue

def customFieldManager = ComponentAccessor.getCustomFieldManager()

// replace with your custom field id
def customFieldId = "customfield_10028"
def customField = customFieldManager.getCustomFieldObject(customFieldId)

def todaysDateTime = new Timestamp((new Date()).time)

issue.setCustomFieldValue(customField, todaysDateTime)

You will need to change the custom field id above to match your date time field. The post-function also needs to be in the list before the change history one. This is explained in more detail here.

Let us know how you get on with this.
