Is it possible to create an automation that applies a fix version date to an epic due date field?

[Joe Lagana-Jackson]

Hi,

We have a need to have the start date and due date in our epics to match up with the fix version start date and due date. (This is a workaround for integrating Jira with a 3rd party tool.) 

Assuming that we'll only have one fix version per epic, is there a way to match the fix version start and end date to an epic's start and due date fields? 

FYI, we don't have any plugins, like scriptrunner.

Thanks!

Joe

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your question.

I do not believe it is possible to automate this requirement out of the box inside of Jira Cloud.

However, I can confirm it would be possible to do this with ScriptRunner for Jira Cloud by writing a script which called the Get Issue  API to get the Epic issue and the saved the values of the Start Date and End Date fields on the epic to variables in the script.

The script would then need to make a request to the Update Version API in order to update the Start Date and End Date of the version which exists on the Epic issue using the values saved in the variables on the script.

I hope this helps.

Regards,

Kristian
