import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd")
def today = format.format( new Date() )

RFC3339 date

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
//2020-10-03T10:00:00Z
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX")
def today = format.format( new Date() )

Add 10 minutes

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
import groovy.time.TimeCategory

//2020-10-03T10:00:00Z
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX")
def currentDate = new Date()
def after30Mins
use( TimeCategory ) {
    after30Mins = currentDate + 10.minutes
}
def today = format.format(after30Mins)

Subtract 10 minutes

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat
import groovy.time.TimeCategory

//2020-10-03T10:00:00Z
SimpleDateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ssXXX")
def currentDate = new Date()
def after30Mins
use( TimeCategory ) {
    after30Mins = currentDate - 10.minutes
}
def today = format.format(after30Mins)

more options on time are:

• x.weeks

Extract insight key from custom field value.

When you do a GET on an issue containing insight custom field value it will return an array of values like this [“My object (thekey-123)“,”My other object (thekey-456)”] to extract the key from that use a groovy variable with the lines below.

The action structure will look like this:

1. Add a GET request on the issue, this will return the issue as a json representation

2. add an iterator with $.fields.customfield_10234 (the id of the custom field that holds the insight values)

3. Add a POST create issue request with the body below
   

   {
       "fields": {
           "project": {
               "id": "7543"
           },
           "summary": "The summary",
           "issuetype": {
               "id": "3"
           },
           "customfield_11230":"{{issue.key}}",
           "customfield_10234": [{"key": "{{extractInsightKey}}"}]
       }
   }

Groovy variable {{extractInsightKey}} It will return thekey-123 and thekey-456

def regexp = /\(([^\)]+)\)/
def matcher = response =~ regexp

return matcher.getAt(0)[1]
