So annoying when #Jira goes from giving the exact date and time to a general number of days ago.

One way around it is to use #StyleBot to apply custom styles to a site, and use the attr() function to place the contents of an attribute after the vague value.

For example:

.timestamp::after {
content: " | " attr(title)
}

@mikemccaffrey pretty much this same bug was raised against Gitlab.

https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/14560

A similar workaround (via userscript) was posted to that issue too!

Your CSS fix is nicer :)

Gitlab is open source, so the bug was eventually fixed.

Gitlab is also ENTERPRISE, so that fix took five years to be released.

Option to display absolute dates and times instead of relative, e.g. "25 days ago" (#14560) · Issues · GitLab.org / GitLab · GitLab

All dates in the web interface are displayed relative to today. It would be nice if there was an option to show the exact dates and times instead,...
