Jira Automation Smart Values within Description

[Deleted user]

Hi there,

I am having trouble with some smart values and cron expressions. Could someone help me with the following expressions?

Smart Values:

- this month

- last month

- a week before the due date of the ticket

- 10 days after creation date

- a week after creation of the ticket

- first Thursday of month of due date

- 1st of the following month of the creation date (every 3 months, e.g. August, November, February, May)

- Every 16 weeks on Thursday, starting 03.08.2023, next: 23.11.2023

- week before due date

- the actual due date

Cron expression for ticket creation date:

First of all is it possible to refer a cron expression to a date in the past? I want to set up the following ones:

- from 03.07.23 on every 4 weeks on Thursday

- Mid of month (every 3 months: Mid July, Mid October, Mid January, Mid April)

- every 16 weeks, starting 13.07.2023

Thanks in advance!

Hi @[deleted] and welcome to the community!

Can you please provide more context around how you're trying to use these smart values?  Having this additional understanding will help us better answer you.  Using This Month as an example, is your intent to calculate all issues coming due this month or This month I want automation to take x actions?
