Automation > Recurrence - Please add Monthly/Annually

[Andrew Sedlacek]

For Jira Automation - is there a way to set the story/task to recur monthly or annually? In the dropdown I only have Daily, Every Weekday, Weekly, and Every 2 Weeks.

Hi @Andrew Sedlacek ,
You may run the automation based on cron job that would be monthly. Here;s an existing answer https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-questions/Re-Cron-Expression-in-Automation-Rule/qaq-p/1917424/comment-id/634929#M634929

Hi, @Andrew Sedlacek 

To use more complex schedules, you can take advantage of CRON scheduling. This is done through the "Advanced" tab in the scheduling settings.

Here are a couple of examples:

A CRON schedule to run at 1:00 am on the 1st and 15th day of every month would look like this:

0 0 1 1,15 * *

If you want it to run at 1:00 am on the 1st day of January every year, the expression would be:

0 0 1 1 1 *

You can find more examples here:

Let me know if you need further clarification!

Best regards,
Evgeniy

Hi @Andrew Sedlacek 

As an alternative, you may use a rule with a Scheduled trigger on your cadence (with JQL to select your work item) and then use Clone Work Item.
