Example - Setting a Date field 1 day in the future

Create a new Custom Field Default

When the Field Value type is set to Velocity Scripted Value, the "Velocity Context" is expandable, showing the contents of the JEMH Velocity Context, with hyperlinks to online Javadoc.

Showing the velocity context

The icon pops up the velocity context available, including (for now) some static values that would be supplied during real processing

Example content:

Specific Email related values

$jemhUtils.getCatchEmailAddress().getAddress()

Add the Velocity code

Example: Email Address arrays:

#foreach ($aCc in $ccAddresses) $aCc.getAddress() : #end

Dates

$longVal is defined as a variable, (with the value of the current time in milliseconds, plus 24(hours)*60(minutes)*60(seconds)*1000(millis) = 8640000), then the $dateFormatter is used with a specific style, based on the date generated from $jemhDateUtils.createDate:

#set($longVal = $currentMillis.longValue() + 86400000 )
$dateFormatter.withStyle($dateTimeStyle.DATE).format($jemhDateUtils.createDate($longVal))

Preview the output

Press the blue preview button to render the Velocity code in the Preview window.

After Submitting the form, the Custom Field Defaults section view will show the rendered Velocity values as applicable (here showing the next days date, 15/Oct/16 in a valid format):

Now, issues created, will have the Custom Field Test Date set with a dynamically generated value of 29/Mar/15, which is correctly parsed by JIRA and results in issues being created with the appropriate value:
