Update Jira Date with Automation for Jira using the fix Version Release Date.

Lara Lopez Garcia

Hello,

I am trying to update a custom field Date in my issue with the Release Date of my Fix Version.

I am using {{issue.fixVersions.releaseDate.format("d/MMM/yy")}} which works in the comments, but does not work in the Date custom field I have.

I have tried different formats and the dates appear correctly in the comments but the field does not get updated. Can anyone help with the right format?

When I edit my issue Jira says it expects the d/MMM/yy format.

Best Regards

Hi @Lara Lopez Garcia

Can you try this :

Also look at the audit log of your rule, you should find which format is expected.

Thanks Mohamed it worked!

That format is nowhere in our dates, but it seems it was the right one!

Hi @Lara Lopez Garcia ,

You can also use the predefined "jiraDate" format:

{{issue.fixVersions.releaseDate.jiraDate}}

There are a number of predefined date and time formats available - see https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/ for examples.

Cheers,

James

Thanks James, I tried a lot of formats because the edit screen said d/MMM/yy but our view is dd.MM.yyyy. It seems I overlooked in the documentation the jiraDate possibility.

Thanks a lot!

I have a similar problem, copying Due date (system) to a Target End Date

{
"fields": {
"customfield_12856": "{{issue.Due.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}}"
}
}

Error: The Target end must be of the format "yyyy-MM-dd" (customfield_12856)

nvm, found the issue. It should be {{issue.Due date.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}. Confusing that it allows spacing
