Automation to set the fields start date and due date

[Karoline Rezende Ramos]

It is possible that in automatic, we can assign a start date to a Story of the subtask with the earliest start date, and the end date of the story with the end date of the subtask with the latest end date?

Hi @Karoline Rezende Ramos 

Yes, you may do that based on the values changing for a subtask, and then update the parent based on the min/max in the other subtasks.

Please review the Lookup Issues action to help you gather the subtasks and then find the min/max for the set: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-automation-actions/#Lookup-issues

Kind regards,

Hi @Karoline Rezende Ramos 

You need to loop through the sub-tasks for Story to update the fields 

Get the start date

Get the end date

Action to update the story issue 

Thanks,

Hi @Pramodh M

With these smart values I was able to create the rule and it worked. Thank you ☺️

@Karoline Rezende Ramos would your share the resulting rule (screenshot), it would help other members of this community on how to solve a similar problem. Thanks
