This code extracts data from Jira based on a yaml config file, and outputs a properly formatted CSV that can be read by the ActionableAgile Analytics tool.
Often times for various reasons a status change occurs on the same date a few minutes or a few hours apart. JIRA stores these status changes as a datetime so it would be useful if the property of the variable in the tool extracting these changes be changed to a datetime as well.
