Struggling with what I think should be a straightforward Jira automation.

Because Jira doesn't support using the Target date field for group by period (Year, Quarter etc), I've created a custom date field "Computed Target" and created a flow that evaluates the Roadmap field value such that when equals "Completed", then the custom field will get updated with the current date (date the user has updated the roadmap field.  Its not a perfect solution but its not terrible.

Here are the screenshots of the configuration.

One note:  I was not able to get the custom field ID myself so i did ask Rovo to get it for me and I'm assuming it got the right UN ID for that custom field.  (If someone can tell me how I can get that ID, I would love to verify it).

Hi @Andy Fieweger

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

If you're just looking to verify the custom field ID, you can do in this way:

Go to Jira settings ->Work Items -> Custom fields, locate the field, click on Contexts and Default Values, and check the URL. You'll typically see something like customFieldId=12345..

That is your customfield ID.Screenshot 2026-07-03 085603.pngScreenshot 2026-07-03 085531.png
