datePart()

This function returns the date part of any given timestamp.

Syntax

 datePart(timestamp, timeZone) #Output: Number

Parser expression	Description
datePart({issue.created}, LOCAL)	This example returns the issue creation date, e.g. March 25th, 2020 00:00 as a number in milliseconds. If the creation date was March 25th, 2020 23:15 the output would be March 25th, 2020 00:00 (in milliseconds). The time part 23:15 will be removed from the timestamp and will be set to 00:00.

Parameters used in this function

Parameter	Input (data type)	Description
`timestamp`	NUMBER	The parameter must be valid timestamp. Usually this value is retrieved from a field (e.g. due date, created date).
`timeZone`	TIMEZONE	The time zone used for the calculation.

This function returns a NUMBER representing a timestamp

If you need the time part instead, you might want to have a look at the function timePart().
