Release date field automation

Dorothy Callahan

Hi all,

We would like to automate the "Release Date" field to be valued with date a version is released. When I try to create the automation and choose "Release Date" field to be updated it is asking me for a specific date or a date in the future i.e. now plus 5 business days. What we want is I hit release for a version today, all the issues assigned to that version release and update the "Release Date" field with today's date.

Thanks

If you set the release date without releasing the version you have to pick a date in the future, and that is why you see that in the automation. When you release a version, it will automatically set the release date for you, so there is no need for an automation. Example: I created release 1.0 with only a start date.

Now when I release it you can see that today's date is filled in.

Hello @Dorothy Callahan

Are you trying to update the Release Date in the Version, or are you trying to update a Release Date field in the issues associated with the Version?

Please show us the Automation Rule you have created.

Hello @Dorothy Callahan

Are you trying to update the Release Date in the Version, or are you trying to update a Release Date field in the issues associated with the Version?

Please show us the Automation Rule you have created.

Good morning,

Trying to update the Release Date in the issues associated with the Version.

Dorothy Callahan

Good morning Mikael,

Does the above update the Release Date field in the issue view?

Mikael Sandberg

No, it only sets the release date on the version, not a custom field that you have on issues. For that you need an automation, and I would trigger that on when the version is released.

As @Mikael Sandberg mentioned you could use an Automation Rule triggered when a version is Released.

You can then add a branch for all related issues using the "Issues fixed in version" option.

Within that branch you can edit the custom Release Date field you added to your issues.

You can access the Release Date of the Version through the {{issue.fixVersions}} smart value.
