Automation to set Epic due date based on earliest child due date

Question

I am struggling on coming up with a way to parse the due dates of each child of an Epic, identify the nearest due date from those children, and assign that nearest date to the Epic's due date. The Epic could have several child issues tied to it that may have due dates differing between then by a day or so.

I'm currently running Jira (Server) with the Jira Automation plugin. As far as third party plugins, I also have Adaptavist ScriptRunner available, however, I am not as familiar with that plugin as I am with the Automation rules.
