write sprint end date in existing custom field

Lars Blaschka

Hi guys,

is it possible to automatically write the end date of the current sprint a item is assigned to in a existing custom field in a linked issue?

For example: There is a feature request in our service desk. We create a linked issue of this service desk issue in a project backlog and assign it to the next sprint. As soon as this next sprint starts, we set the end date of this sprint. Now I would like an automation which writes the end date of the started sprint in a custom field "expected release date" in the linked service desk issue.

Is this possible and if so, how?

We use the add-on "automation for jira".

Thanks in advance!

Cheers, Lars

Hi @Lars Blaschka is the question focused around the fact that it's a "custom field" and you already know how to do this for a standard field? Or are you asking how to generally do this using Jira Automation, less specifically about it being a custom field?

Hi @Jim Edgeton ,

thank you for your reply.

I know the basics of setting up automations with automation for jira. I have the ability to set a action for the linked issue by updating the custom field "expected release date". But I have no clue how to set the automation to particularly update the custom field by the end date of a sprint.

Can you help me here?

Cheers, Lars

Hi @Lars Blaschka

You can access to this value with this :

{{sprint.endDate.format("dd/MM/yyyy")}}

Hi @Mohamed Benziane ,

I am not quite sure if I do this correct... I just dont know how to set the automation up.

Right now I have set that if the field "end date" of a linked issue is changed, then the value "expected release date" of the issue in serviceDesk shall be updated by "{{sprint.endDate.format("dd/MM/yyyy")}}" but nothing happens. I think because the field end date is not enabled in my project / issue screen. And I am not sure if the field end date is the same as the end date of the sprint.

It drives me crazy.... Do you have an idea?

Cheers, Lars

What is your automation rule ? Can you share is with us ?

Lars Blaschka

Hi @Mohamed Benziane , sure, here is the automation. I am sure that the mistake is the field "end date". It is not the field I need to add....

What I really need is the field in the second picture. The end date of the active sprint a linked issue is added to. You can see it in the backlog below the name of the current active sprint. Its called sprint end date, but i cannot choose it in the automation...
