Description
Summary
Automation date and time functions do not work on the Insight object date, dateTime attributes
Steps to Reproduce
- Add a date attribute to one of the object types and set a value for an object
- Create an automation rule that gets triggered when an object gets updated and add an action to create an issue and try to copy the date attribute of the object to the date custom field of the issue
Expected Results
Able to copy the value using the datetime functions:
{{object.AttributeName.jqlDate}}
Actual Results
The date and time functions do not work on the Insight object date, dateTime attributes. The below smart value is empty:
{{object.AttributeName.jqlDate}} {{object.AttributeName.toDate}}
While the below smartvalue returns the date:
{{object.AttributeName}}
Though these functions work on the Created and Updated attributes of the Insight objects.
{{object.Created.jqlDate}}
Workaround
- Create a variable "datevar" to store the date value:
object.AnotherDate
- Then use the below functions on the variable name:
{{datevar.toDate.jqlDate}}
