Apply Automation Rule on Advanced Roadmap JIRA

[Karmandroid Singularity]

Hi, 

I have following automation to update Target Date when Estimates (d) is updated:

• Target Date = customfield_17972
• Start Date = customfiled_17971
• workdaysToAdd = variable to store Estimates (d) in day

workdaysToAdd = {{#=}}{{issue.timetracking.remainingEstimateSeconds}}/28800{{/}}

Syntax for Edit Action as follow:

{
"fields": {
"customfield_17972": "{{#issue.customfield_17971.toDate}}func=plusBusinessDays({{workdaysToAdd}}){{/}}"
}
}

I want to run above rules in real time in Advance Roadmap. With normal condition the rule will apply after I Review and Confirm change on the field. 

Is there any way to make it run before Review and Confirm? I want to see the updated Target Date in real time after updating the Estimates (d)

I am running under this JIRA version; Atlassian Jira Project Management Software (v9.12.17)

Hi @Karmandroid Singularity,

Short answer: there is no way to do that, I'm afraid.

Your automation rule requires a valid trigger for it to be fired. Your automation rule fires after the commit, because that is the event that actually fires the update on your actual issue(s).

Advanced Roadmaps is a sort of sandbox environment where you design your plan across multiple issues / projects / teams and only save the changes to reflect in real time in Jira when you are happy with the result. 

Automation does not have any triggers specific to a plan. They just respond when the updates are being pushed into Jira.

Hope this helps!
