adjusting subtasks due date based on main /parent due date

Question

Hello, I'm trying to find a formula that can do the following:

- when a parent due date is set, then child issues due dates automatically adjust to for example 3 business days before, 5 business days before, etc.

I tried with the now formula: {{now.minusBusinessdays(3)}}

but it doesn't work for a date in the future/ when I change the date to the next day for example. I want the child issues date to change as well, according to the parent due date.

When I try with issue created, nothing happens.

the due date indicator field is the field that shows what needs to be done for example 3 business days before(minus), 5 business days before, 3 business days after (plus) the parent due date

Hi Jack, I tried with that formula, but nothing happens in the list so maybe my process is wrong? (see picture below)

You would not use "now" rather you need to use the duedate from the parent (trigger) issue. I think you want {{triggerIssue.duedate}}

I'm not where I can verify this but maybe... {{triggerIssue.duedate.minusBusinessdays(3)}}
