I want to calculate and update a Date field on the basis of Due Date of the Issue. Is it possible??

[Srikanth Vemuluri]

I have two date fields in the same issue. And want to update the second field by calculating the first field date. I need like this:

Field 1 : 28/12/2022

Field 2 : It should be updated as (-1w) of Field 1.

Is it possible to do it like this??

Hello, @Srikanth Vemuluri,

This can be achieved by automation.

1. Determine the trigger, when will this automation happen?
   • For example: Field value changed "Field1" -> Any change -> For all operations
2. You can use an edit action that updates the Field2 based on Field1
   • {{issue.Field1.minusWeeks(1)}}

If your fields are custom, you will need to find their ID and use it in place of "Field1" and "Field2".
