Sub-task due date automation

Ryan McGee

I have an automation to create a sub-task for certain events and have the due date set to: {{now.plusDays(3).toBusinessDay()}}. However, I want to add a rule to not exceed the due date of the parent. Maybe even have it 1 day prior to the parent due date. I am not a JQL expert, can this be done?

Hi @Ryan McGee

That seems possible with automation rules. I am using Jira Cloud, and not Server/Data Center version, and so I cannot test the following for your tooling...

issues have some information about the parent, and the parent's data
try adding a condition to test {{issue.parent.duedate}} and adjust the subtask value accordingly...or...
you could use the math function min() to do try this:

{{#=}}MIN({{now.plusDays(3).toBusinessDay()}},{{issue.parent.duedate.minusDays(1)){{/}}

Kind regards,
Bill

@Bill Sheboy May I ask your automation rule ? How did you set it !?

I really need it!!

Hi @彥宏(Luke) 劉

The specifics of the rule will depend on your scenario. That is, which issue do you need to check / update.

If you look at the expression I wrote above you can see how to compare an issue's parent due date to the current date (adjusted). To use that for an edit, type it in the edit field value, it will appear below the field, and then select it.

Kind regards,
Bill
