Automation of dates based on several values in a custom field

Lcrawford

Hello!

We have a Program Increment field on our tickets that we use to assign work to a PI. For Features, it's one to one. But, for Epics, they can span multiple PIs.

Example:

ABC-123 (Epic) is going to be ideated on and developed starting in PI 1 and target dev done in PI 4.

ABC-124 (Feature) will be completed in PI 3.

Our PIs (of course) have start and end dates. For simplicity, let's assume PI 1 is 1/1-1/31, PI 3 is 3/1-3/30, and PI 4 is 4/1-4/30.

What we want to automate is setting the target start and target end dates based on the PIs in the custom Program Increment field.

So, For ABC-123, we want the automation to set Target Start as 1/1 and Target end as 4/30.

For ABC-124, we want the Target Start as 3/1 and Target End as 3/30.

If a PI is added or removed, we'd want that to update.

I'm sure with coding this is possible...is it? Has anyone done this before?

Thanks for any help!

Hello @Lcrawford

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

The tags on your post indicate your deployment is Cloud, which indicates you are using Jira Cloud (the Software as a Service product hosted for you by Atlassian). But then you added a tag for jira-data-center, which would indicate you are using the self-hosted product. Which are you actually using? When you click on the Help button (the question mark) near your avatar and then select About Jira, what version information do you get?

What type of entity is a PI? Is it another issue type?

In what type of field in your Epics are you recording the related PIs?

Lcrawford

It's data center; I went to edit it and couldn't swap it, which is why I added the tag. I miss the features in Cloud, but here we are.

PI is a custom list field that allows multi-select. It is on the Epic and Feature screens, as are the Target Start and Target End date fields.

Thanks for replying!

Thank you for that additional information.

Where is the information about the start and end dates of the PIs?

Lcrawford

I'd likely have to put it in the code; it's not stored like release start and end dates are, and we don't release each PI to make it easier, unfortunately. I am limited on admin rights with this contract, but am open to ideas.

I usually do a workaround and import a file and use EazyBI for the reporting, but we have a need to have the data on the ticket and pushed into our Roadmunk integration.
