jiraDateSame as "formatDate" method above, but specifies constant dateformat pattern (yyyy-MM-dd), suitable for JIRA REST API[entry.myfield.jiraDate]
jiraDateTimeSame as "formatDate" method above, but specifies constant dateformat pattern ("yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss.SSSZ"), should be compatible with ISO 8601 standard as JIRA requires when setting timestamps to JIRA fields[entry.myfield.jiraDateTime]
escapeJSONEscapes illegal characters in the field value to generate a valid JSON property. New lines, quotes, tabs and etc will be properly escaped[entry.myfield.escapeJSON]
asArray

Tries to create an array from the value. Useful when you want to pass ConfiForms multi-select values to JIRA. Something like

No Format
"customfield_XXXX" : [[entry.myfield.asArray]]
 
this will generate
 
"customfield_XXXX" : ["val1","val2"]
 
assuming "myfield" field is a multi select and has 2 values: val1 and val2

 

There are variations to support other multi-select fields in JIRA

https://developer.atlassian.com/jiradev/jira-apis/jira-rest-apis/jira-rest-api-tutorials/jira-rest-api-example-create-issue#JIRARESTAPIExample-CreateIssue-MultiSelect
