[JMWE] Find bigger date from Epic's issues and copy it to an Epic field

Question

Hi all!

Let me lay out the foundation for my question:

I have an epic. Below this epic, I have two different issue types: dev & specs. The dev issue types have an actual start date field and actual end date field (both date picker fields), which are automatically added to each issue, upon starting the progress or completing the work. I'm using JMWE on my cloud instance.

My question is the following: Upon Epic's resolution (moving from e.g. in progress to done) I want to search for all dev issues which belong to this epic and which must be resolved. Then, if they are all resolved, find their Actual End Date, take the most recent one (the bigger, the greatest, the one closest to today) and then copy it on the same field on my epic.

Any ideas?

Cheers!
Alex

Hi @Alex Koxaras -Relational- ,

Add a "Set field value (JMWE app)" post-function on the Done transition of the Epic. Select Current Issue under Target Issue(s), select the destination field and add the below value :

{% set issues = issue | stories() | filter(["fields.issuetype.name","dev"]) %}
{% if issues | filter(["fields.status.name","Resolved"],true) | length == 0 %}
{{issues | filter(["fields.customfield_10083",null],true) | field("fields.customfield_10083") | sort | last}}
{% endif %}

Replace "dev" in line #1 with the desired issue type name(which belongs to Epic), replace "Resolved" in line #2 with the required status of the dev issues and replace "customfield_10083" with the id of "Actual End Date" custom field.
