« Hide

When printing out a JIRA issue, the printout shows sometimes dates as "yesterday" or "today", which is obviously not useful if one reads the printout at a later time.

There should be a way to configure whether the user wants to see "today" or the standard format. A property file setting would also be ok.

component should be "web interface", not "workflow", please edit.

This appears to be a duplicate of ~~JRA-7439~~ and ~~JRA-7950~~.
There is a setting in the jira-application.properties file at line 41:

# Whether to display dates relative to now, eg. 'Today, 2:12pm'
jira.lf.date.relativize = true
Change this to false, restart the server and these relative dates should be resolved to proper dates.
This was implemented in v 3.3

Sorry for the 1. - that is supposed to be a hash symbol ("#"). But this $@!%! WIKI renderer screws it up (JRA-8175)

Neal, thanks for the update.

Arne, would the solution in ~~JRA-7950~~ work for you? Or would you prefer to keep this date format when viewing an issue, but not when printing?

It would be perfect if I could have two jira-application.properties settings, one for screen and another one for printing. But the customer is perfectly happy with the workaround.

Hi Prasanth.

Apologies for this but I am unsure what you are referring to. Could you expand on your question/comment?

Thanks,
Brian
