Issue/Introduction

When setting a datetime field in Rally to the ProcessingTime attribute in orphan management, the time portion of the field is not saved in the datetime field in Rally.  Instead it is set to midnight (with the workspace offset)

The exception thrown in the logs is 

DEBUG yyyy-MM-DD HH:mm:ss,SSS [-999999999 | Automation | 4 | 27 | {}][(orphan-flows) thread #20 - JmsConsumer[processOrphanQ]] com.go2group.connectall.model.transformer.nextgen.NextGenAdapterModelConverter: Conversion of datetime field failed again due to the error:

java.text.ParseException: Unparseable date: "2025-01-17T21:27:35.386Z"

And then we see the actual payload sent to Rally is as follows:

DEBUG yyyy-MM-DD HH:mm:ss,SSS [-999999999 | Automation | 4 | 27 | {}][(orphan-flows) thread #20 - JmsConsumer[processOrphanQ]] com.go2group.connectall.adapter.rally.base.helper.RallyAdapterHelper: Returning JSON, {"HierarchicalRequirement": {

  "c_Date": "2025-01-16T17:00:00",

  "Project": "/project/999999999999"

}}

 

Steps to Reproduce: 

1. Set up an automation that uses Rally as a destination

2. Configure the orphan management to update a date field in Rally to the Processing time of the orphan management

3. Synch a work item from source to Rally

4. Delete the work item from source

5. Trigger the orphan management and note the time

Expected Results: 

• Rally date field is updated to the full date and time

Actual Results:

• Rally date field only has the date value and time value is effectively midnight (with workspace timezone offset)
