set due date of an issue based on the sprint end date

Kelli Frattini-Adams

I want to set the Due Date field with the sprint end date. I have script runner but am quite new to it. I tried this with automation but it doesn't update when the sprint is changed. Can someone help me on how to do this with script runner.

I want the due date updated each time the sprint changes so keep only the end date of the "Current" sprint not the first sprint it was in.

Hi @Kelli Frattini-Adams

I do not have ScriptRunner installed so I cannot help with that. But if you post your automation rule and describe what is not working the community may be able to help you improve it. Thanks!

And, what do you mean by "each time the sprint changes"? Do you mean the end date of the sprint is changing before it starts or while it is running?

For the first case, your automation rule could use the Sprint Started trigger to correctly change the date. The second case sounds like a bigger problem (changing the date of a running sprint), although you could use the Sprint Completed trigger to set the date *after* the sprint finishes.

Best regards,
Bill

@Bill Sheboy The automation works, except when issues are not completed in a sprint and moved to a new sprint.

The old Sprint end date becomes obsolete however, the system will not overwrite the due date field with new sprint end date. Unfortunately, this happens a lot and is not a one off scenario. In doing some research this is a common issue - that the sprint end date will not update when sprint value is changed and everyone suggests script runner to resolve i.t

I've attached a picture of my automation.

Kelli, I do not see your rule, so maybe try posting it again.

And the sprint end date is an attribute of the sprint, not of an issue. If you are seeing that from an issue that means you are looking at a different sprint. Using the sprint created or completed triggers can help as they focus you on the specific sprint you want.

@Bill Sheboy Trying to upload again. I'll take a look at the sprint triggers too.
