Hello @Chris Jiang 

Welcome to the community..!

Not sure whether release date a custom field or Fix version (related to Release date)

To setup an automation rule in Jira that sends an alert email to a group of people when the release date or the description of an issue changes, follow these steps:

Go to your Jira project and navigate to Project Settings > Automation.

• Click on Create Rule to start setting up a new automation rule.
• Set the Trigger: Choose the Field Value Changed trigger. This will start the rule when specific fields change. 
  • Configure the trigger to run when the Release Date or Description field changes
• Add Condition (Optional) If you want to narrow down the trigger to specific issue types or other criteria, add a Condition.
  • For example, use Issue Fields Condition to check if the issue type is a specific type.
• Add Action to Send Email: Add an action to Send Email.
  • In the To field, enter the email addresses of the group of people you want to notify. If they are Jira users, you might be able to use user roles or groups.
  • In the Subject and Body fields,
    
    • Subject: "Alert: Change in Release Date or Description for {{issue.key}}"
    • Body: "The release date or description for issue {{issue.key}} ({{issue.fields.summary}}) has changed. Please review the changes."
