It works for me as documented:
Template:
{
"variables":
{
"myvar": "packer-{{isotime \"2006-01-02\"}}",
"myvar2": "packer-{{isotime \"2006-01-02 03-04-05\"}}",
"myvar3": "packer-{{isotime \"2006-01-02 03:04:05\"}}"
},
"builders": [
{
"type": "null",
"communicator": "none"
}
],
"provisioners": [
{
"type": "shell-local",
"inline": ["echo {{ user `myvar`}}",
"echo {{ user `myvar2`}}",
"echo {{ user `myvar3`}}"]
}
]
}
Output:
$ PACKER_LOG=0 packer build isotime_formatting_example.json
null: output will be in this color.
==> null: Running local shell script:
/var/folders/8t/0yb5q0_x6mb2jldqq_vjn3lr0000gn/T/packer-shell381620806
null: packer-2020-02-28
null: packer-2020-02-28 07-14-11
null: packer-2020-02-28 07:14:11
Build 'null' finished.
==> Builds finished. The artifacts of successful builds are:
--> null: Did not export anything. This is the null builder
