Set a custom field value based on Due Date field

Question

Hello.

I have system field Due Date and custom field "test".

Is there any possible way(without scripts) to change the value of custom field based on condition of the value in Due Date field?

For example, when there are 15 days remains till the date in Due Date field, custom field "test" must get "test-value-1" value automatically, and if there is the date which was specified in Due Date field when creating request, custom field "test" must get "test-value-2" value automatically.

Thank you in advance.

I’m not sure how workflow PF would work since they are invoked by a transition. In @Fariz Aliverdiyev a case he needs something that runs daily and inspects a date field then compares to “now”. But maybe I’m missing the idea here.

Hello, @Fariz Aliverdiyev You can use automation or maybe workflows post functions. Maybe you can find some help in this link:

You will need some form of automation or scripting to achieve this. I use Automation for Jira but there are plenty of options, e.g. Scriptrunner, Power Scripts, etc.
