How to capture the holidays to account for correct business day logic in user story creation

How to capture the holidays to account for correct business day logic in user story creation via Automation.

As of now, we can create user stories automatically on a specific business day. But if suppose Monday is US Holiday, then it should be excluded from calculating the business day. Eg - If I need a story to be created in July on the 5th business day, i.e. July 7th. However July 4th is a Holiday and should not be counting, so the 5th business day for story creation should be July 8th and not 7th.

try below smart value: {{issue.created.plusBusinessDays(issue.daysWorking)}}

Jira automation provides smart values like plusBusinessDays() to increment dates by business days, but this only excludes weekends by default—not public holiday

Yes, aware of this. The question is to consider the public holidays logic and use story to be created as per the Business day specified.

Hey @Kiran Punjabi 

You can configure this under your board settings.
go to your project board and enter its settings, click on the left menu "Working Days" and add the dates you want to exclude.

Note - my answer is based on the new UI.

Yes, I am aware of this UI functionality. However, that doesn't work when creating JIRA Automation, especially the business day logic to exclude the holiday.
