  # Work out the type based on our existing labels
  case
    when issue['labels'].to_s =~ /Bug/i
      type = "Bug"
    when issue['labels'].to_s =~ /Feature/i
      type = "New feature"
    when issue['labels'].to_s =~ /Task/i
      type = "Task"
  end

  # Work out the priority based on our existing labels
  case
    when issue['labels'].to_s =~ /HIGH/i
      priority = "Critical"
    when issue['labels'].to_s =~ /MEDIUM/i
      priority = "Major"
    when issue['labels'].to_s =~ /LOW/i
      priority = "Minor"
  end
  milestone = issue['milestone'] || "None"
  if (milestone != "None")
    milestone = milestone['title']
  end

  # Needs to match the header order above, date format are based on Jira default
  row = [
    issue['title'],
    issue['body'],
    DateTime.parse(issue['created_at']).new_offset(TIMEZONE_OFFSET).strftime("%d/%b/%y %l:%M %p"),
    DateTime.parse(issue['updated_at']).new_offset(TIMEZONE_OFFSET).strftime("%d/%b/%y %l:%M %p"),
    type,
    milestone,
    priority,
    issue['state'],
    issue['user']['login']
  ]
  csv << row
  end

i get the same as @dylanjw

It can be fixed by updating the two lines that parse the date time to this

    issue['created_at'],
    issue['updated_at'],
