update due date with working days instead business days

Question

My due date field getting value from the {{issue.resume date.plusBusinessDays(TimeTrackingDays.asNumber)}}

but the issue is Friday and Saturday are our holidays and Sunday to Thursday are our working days.

the above smart value sometimes set Friday as a due date but it should set Sunday as the due date.

is there any way to set plus working days instead business days?

I didn't think about workdays in board but in jira global time tracking permission. Please go through docs again.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply but setting working days in the board setting is not changing business days for automation.

Hi @Tehmina Aslam

Unfortunately, very few features of Jira appear to use the working days (or hours) configured for the site or at a project level.  This includes ignoring any defined holidays for non-working days.  Automation rule functions have this same limitation.

One possible work-around is to first use plusDays followed by the diff and format functions in an advanced compare condition to determine if the resulting day falls on your team's non-working days.  You could then increment the date, as needed.  Please look here to learn more about those functions: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

Kind regards,
Bill
