Is it possible to automate the due date update for releases in Jira?

[Miguel Angulo Jara]

Hi Atlassian community,

I’m looking for a way to automate the due date update for releases (Jira versions) whenever the due date of the current version arrives. My goal is for the due date of a release to automatically update to a new date, for example, the current date + 1 day, whenever the original due date has passed.

I’m currently using Jira Automation, but I haven’t found a way to modify the due date of releases automatically. I know I can do this for issues associated with a release, but my question is whether there’s a way to do this at the release version level (not for individual issues).

Hi @Miguel Angulo Jara -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Although rule actions can create a version / release with a specific date, there are no rule actions to edit the dates.

Instead, one may use the Send Web Request action to call the REST API endpoint to update the version.  If you want to try that, here are some references to help:
