Scenario

An incoming email carries a Directive for a Date or Date Time picker which does not use the same format as the system default. When parsing the date the value can be misread or fail to parse. JEMHC allows a custom date format to be applied when parsing extracted date values at Profile > Issue > Dates.

Jira uses Java SimpleDateFormat to define Date and time formats, documentation found here:
