StartOfYear in Automation

Question

Hi there,

I have an automation where I'm trying to calculate the number of business days since the start of the current year to the Due Date of the issue.

I have tried with:

Also with {{startOfYear().diff(issue.duedate).BusinessDays}}

But in both cases I get zero days days as result.

If I try with:

{{now.diff(issue.duedate).BusinessDays}} then I get the right number of days... so why isn't it working with the StartOfYear function?

Thank you in advance for your help.

The startOfYear() function you refer to is a thing from JQL.

You may want to try the following syntax to retrieve the first day of the year:

Hope this helps!
