Add issue to sprint based on date in issue

Question

We have issues that get created which may need to be done on/by a specific date which is entered into a custom field on issues. I want to be able to create a Jira automation to move a newly created issue into an existing sprint based on the date in the issue and the start/end dates on the existing sprints.

GIVEN a sprint with an end date
WHEN a new issue is created with a date specified less than the sprint end date
THEN the new issue is added to the sprint.

Is this possible with Jira automations?

I've worked around this with a bit of a "hack". I'm just checking if the due date is within the next 14 days, and if so, moving the issue to the active sprint. It's not ideal, but it will be a bit more help than nothing.

Hey, Jenn. I'd love this as well. Perhaps at a minimum you could use the "Next sprint" option?

I've created a bit of a hack for my use case that kind of works. I'll post it as a separate answer here.

I don't understand how you are suggesting I would do this within Jira automation:

Yes its possible by filtering the issue which needs to be added to active sprint and change the respective issues Sprint value to active sprint value.

Could you share more specific details please?
