How to change working days in jira automation.

Umar testing

Hope everyone doing well

Whenever I am using smart value

{{now.plusBussinessDays()}} for automation it consider saturday and sunday as non-working days but I want to change this. I want only friday as non working day.

Although in my board setting I already define the working days

But whenerver automation runs it consider saturday sunday as non working day.

How I change this?

Hi @Umar testing

I'm not sure you can modify this for Automation - the Board Settings don't impact this, as Board Settings are not linked to Site/Project Settings.

According to this help page, business days are considered to be Monday to Friday, 9am to 6pm.

You could create a feature request for this? You can do this via: https://jira.atlassian.com/secure/Dashboard.jspa

@Ste Wright Thanks for your response

Is there is no way or no smart value from where i consider working days as saturday to thursday and make friday as non wroking day?

because I did the automation in which all tasks are schedule automatically

but my working days are from saturday to thursday.

Hi @Umar testing

What's the full rule need to do?

It'd be good to understand where the business days smart value is being used, and how the wider rule is structured.

I will expalin you in detail

I make a rule where when er created tasks the subtasks are created automatically and in subtasks I set the start date and due date with this smart value {{now.plusBusinessDays()}} so whenever someone create task the subtasks are created automatically and there start date and due date set automatically.

Hi @Umar testing

There is nothing built-in which can do that. In fact, several of the Jira features do not respect the site or project settings for working days (or non-working days as holidays).

There are a couple of work-arounds for this, depending on the complexity of your working days definitions:

Work with your engineers to create a REST API service, and host it somewhere, to compute the needed date(s), and call that service from your rule
Use the existing date increment and conditional logic of rules to determine when your date increment includes non-working days (e.g. Friday for your scenario), and add more days. When adding more than a week of days, ensure your rule can account for that.

Kind regards,
Bill
