Can I automate a work item deletion with a delay once a field value has changed?

Christopher Carvalho August 13, 2025

I would like to know if there are any ways that I can set an automation that should delete, with a delay, a work item once a value from a specific field change to a specific value.

In this case, I'd need Jira to wait for around 200s before deleting the item once the field value has changed, but I couldn't figure how to set a delay and then the item deletion automation.

I have seen this post: https://community.atlassian.com/forums/Jira-Service-Management-articles/Automation-delay-action-new-3rd-party-connector-updates-are-now/ba-p/2756730#M4836

But there is no "Delay" option for me: image.png

Nevermind, I just noticed it's only for Premium/Enterprise plans, and I'm on free.
