User input on now.plusHours

[Jay Arrera]

I have an automation that requests closes an issue, clones it, and then sets the start time for the cloned issue at an offset start time.

For example, 

{{now.plusHours(12)}}

sets the start date/time to 12 hours from now.

I want the '12' hours to be based in user input when the automation is run, rather than hard-coded to 12.

When I create an input variable, 

 {{userInputs.repeatHours}}
I don't know how to embed that into now.plusHours()
This doesn't work: {{now.plusHours({{userInputs.repeatHours}})}}

Hello @Jay Arrera 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Remove the curly braces around userInputs.repeatHours, inside the parentheses.
