Automation project

Jennyfer Cubelles Torres

Hi all

While using the option automation of project. I would like to set certain specific deadlines for the same JIRA project as for example:

10/02 of every year

10/05 of every year

10/08 of every year

10/11 of every year

 

would it be possible by using cron expressions to automate one rule for all the above periods?

Hello @Jennyfer Cubelles Torres

Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Yes, you can schedule your rule to run in specific days of the year using a Cron Expression in Jira Cloud automation. This would be the steps to schedule the trigger to run on the dates you want:

1. Navigate to your JIRA SD project > Project settings > Project automation (Not automation)
2. Click to Create a new rule
3. Select the scheduled trigger, configuring the Cron expression "0 0 10 10 2,5,8,11 ?", as displayed in the screenshot below:
   
4. The rule above will be triggered on the 10th day of February, May, August, and November at 10:00 AM UTC.

The first three parameters are used to define the time, so you can change it by using the following table, considering the order that they must be specified (from left to right):

Second	Minute	Hour	Day-Of-Month	Month	Day-Of-Week	Year
0-59	0-59	0-23	1-31	1-12 or JAN-DEC	1-7 or SUN-SAT	1970-2099
