Hello,
We are in the process of creating a new semi automated onboarding process for our company in Jira and are currently trying to create automation that sets the priority based on the difference between a "start date" that would be specified in the submission, and the actual date of the submission.
We have the automation all sorted and it's working, using else/if functions that says essentially "if the field {start date} = 2 days from now, set priority to high" for example.
The issue we have with this is it does not account for business days only, and we cannot figure out how to make it run on business days only. So if a request was submitted on Friday with a start date of Monday for example, that is a 1 business day difference requiring a high level of urgency, but the system currently recognizes that as 3 days and assigns a lower priority than is required.
Can anyone suggest a workaround for this?
