I have Jenkin’s “BUILD_ID” env variable redefined using zentimestamp plugin in my Jenkins setup and I use it in the configured jobs for various reasons. I’m now trying to display the build date in the format “YYYY-MM-DD” in emails triggered by email extn plugin as part of post build. Can anyone direct me how can I display the build date in the above format in emails. I could not use none other Jenkins env variables. Please share your thoughts to get this done or put me in some directions. Thanks.

Is your override of BUILD_ID not working?

No...It's working as expected. But it's set to a different format and i use it for various other reasons in the job. So i could not use BUILD_ID to just display the date in format YYYY_MM_DD.

Are you using groovy templates or jelly templates for your email, or just raw tokens in the content box?

I do not use groovy templates or jelly templates. It's just a simple plain email wherein i wanted display the date in the format YYYY-MM-DD

There is no token that provides that.
