Smart values: .isEmpty / .isNotEmpty isn't working for issue.duedate

Question

Hi,

{{#if(issue.dueDate.isNotEmpty())}}{{issue.dueDate}}{{/}} doen't work
{{#if(issue.customField_14702.isNotEmpty())}}2023-03-03{{/}} works

Sure a due date is set to the issue.

Why isn't it possible to use .isNotEmpty for a due date?
Any workaround?

I try to clone an issue and set the due date to a specific date X when the trigger issue doesn't have any value and otherwise take the due date from the trigger issue.

The whole smart value would be:

However, it can't work when even the smart value mentioned in the beginning of this post doesn't work. Neither for clone action, nor for log action.

Kind regards
Joe

Hi SASIS,

You could try the solution that was provided in a previous post

https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Automation-questions/Automation-Rule-to-null-check-custom-field/qaq-p/1533044

Or if that doesn't work you could make a less pretty solution and set a dummy date on issue creation e.g.1990-01-01, and do a check on that date instead of empty.
