'Invalid numeric literal when running jq from script via crontab

I have a shell script that runs fine from the command line but throws a error when it's run from a cronjob. What could be causing this error?

The following includes the cron, the script, and the error I'm getting in /var/spool/mail.

[jira-svc ~]$ cat jira_trigger_updater.sh
#!/usr/bin/sh

tmp_file=/tmp/merge-issues/$(date --iso-8601=minutes).txt
mkdir -p /tmp/merge-issues

/usr/bin/curl -s -X GET -H "Content-Type: application/json" "https://services-gateway.g054.usdcag.aws.ray.com/project-management/rest/api/2/search?jql=filter%3D14219&fields=key,status,fixVersions" -u jira-svc:${UPDATE_TRIGGER_PASSWORD} > ${tmp_file}
/usr/bin/jq -r '.issues[] | [.key , .fields.status.name , .fields.fixVersions[].name] | join(",")' ${tmp_file} > /rational/triggers/inputs/jira_merge.csv

/usr/bin/chmod 644 /rational/triggers/inputs/jira_merge.csv

#rm -rf /tmp/merge-issues
[jira-svc ~]$ crontab -l
#*/1 * * * * /usr/bin/sh /home/jira-svc/jira_trigger_updater.sh
[jira-svc@ ~]$ tail -25 /var/spool/mail/jira-svc

Solution 1:[1]

Cron runs jobs from a non-ineractive, non-login shell and doesn't load environment variables from files like ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, /etc/profile, and others. You must source these files if you want to include the environment variables defined in them.
