How can i automatically create a new task, 90 days before start deadline of a Story?

We want to have a trigger /  task 90 days before something need to be done.
So we can claim resources on time and not on the start of the story but in advance.

How can i do this?

Hi @Martijn Herfst

Welcome to the Community!

You can use the compare condition for date comparison, as shown in the attached screenshot.
For the trigger, you can put a scheduled trigger, searching stories.
After the condition, you can add Creat new issue action.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi Gor,
Thanks for the answer, but there is no comparison on the dates. You can't check this with one date? of i am missing something.


So the startdate is for example 25-10-2025, We want to have a task created on 27-7-2025. 90 days before the 25-10-2025.

For your case, you can check this comparision.

For the First Value use -  {{now.jiraDate}}
Condition - equals
Second Value -  {{issue.StartDate.minusDays(90).jiraDate}}

If the Start Date is 25-10-2025, then on 27-07-2025 this condition will evaluate to true.

If you have a ticket that has Sa tart Date value, you can run automation using Log action for that ticket, putting {{issue.StartDate.minusDays(90).jiraDate}}.

Providing example.

Hi @Martijn Herfst 

Welcome to the community.

The solution provided by @Gor Greyan is right.

The comparison made is fine, the second value {{now.plusDays(90).jiraDate}} is a smart value.

The smart value represents, current date of today + 90 days in the future and use format 2025-07-18

So this is not a second field, as this is not required.

P.S. Greetings and still at Signify?
