Story/Task due date automation

[Arto Saari]

We use Iniatities and Epics on a GANTT-chart style project management in Advanced roadmap views.

Now, for Story/Task level items linked to Epics we don't want manual overhead of setting start and due date but instead, would like to simply have their associated Release due date automatically appear as the Story/Task due date.

In other words: when a story/task gets assigned to a Release, the Release date is automatically applied as the due date of the story/task.

How to achieve this?

Hi @Arto Saari, you can make use of Automation for Jira and create a rule to update the issue Due date when the Fix version (Release) is assigned to the issue.

An example of such a rule is this 👇

Trigger: Field value changed - Fix version

Action: Edit issue fields - select Due date, {{issue.fixVersions.releaseDate.last}}

You can play with the automation rules and tweak them to better suit your needs. I hope this helps :)
