Auto Populate dates

[Girish Ranade]

Is there a way to auto populate the Assigned Date when the story is Assigned

Currently we need to populate it manually ...

Same question with Completion Date when a story is moved to 'Done'

Hi @Girish Ranade and welcome to the Community!

Two different answers here:

When a story is assigned, that means the assignee field is updated. You can add a custom field (e.g Assigned Date as you suggest) and use an automation rule to update that field when this happens:

(I don't have an assigned date field in my test instance, so used start date instead as an example).

When an issue is completed, Jira should add a value to the resolution field. When this happens, that event is logged automatically in the resolved system field. So you normally don't have to do anything there. If you want a custom solution, you can apply a similar practice as with the assigned date, just use a different trigger for the automation (Issue transitioned to status done).

Hope this helps!
