Universal Date Picker with Calendar Week supporting Atlassian Tools (Jira, Confluence,...)

I have shared some time ago a small script for a universal date picker with calendar weeks displayed. Now in Jira and Confluence the date format is fixed to mm/dd/yyyy. Moreover, Confluence has a specific way of formatting dates. So I have adapted the tool to better integrate with Jira and Confluence. 

I share here the result.

Teams: Quick Share Screen (with second monitor)

UIAutomation: Easily access properties

This video (How to easily access properties from UIA - YouTube) by The.Automator-s is a bit obsolete especially see here (t=417)

With one of recent Descolada's update in the UIAutomation library, you can now access the UIA properties directly.

I asked him about this handling in this issue and he nicely updated his library.

For example you can directly use .Name to access the 'Name' Property; no need to use the counter-intuitive .CurrentName anymore (as shown in Joe's video).

I recommend you keep your local UIAutomation library synchronized with the repo or check regularly for updates.
