Hello Sarabjeet,

If you are using JIRA Cloud, you can use the Copy Value From Other Field post function to copy the value from the Actual field to the Initial field if both are of the same type (Both custom date pickers).

These would be the steps:

- Navigate to your project > Project Settings > Workflow > Click to Edit the relevant workflow

- On Diagram Mode, click in the Create transition of the workflow > Click on Post Functions:

- Click to Add Post function > Select the Copy Value From Other Field, configuring it to copy the value from Actual date in the Initial Date:

- Save the workflow draft

If you are using JIRA Server, you can use the add-on JIRA Suite utilities to perform the same steps as in JIRA Cloud.

Let me know if the steps above worked for you.
