Another example counts the commas in the property "Issue custom date old values". When the Jira date picker custom field "Custom date" is imported with change history which automatically generates a measure issue Custom date old values for each issue. That property stores all the previous dates for the date picker field "Custom date" and those dates are generated as a comma-separated list.
