Update summary with updated due date

Kara Cooper_63zbkj

I currently have subtasks with dates in the summary like this "Attendee analysis (03/29/2024)" using format("(MM/dd/yyyy)")

 

I want the date in the summary to change if I change the due date. For example, if I changed the due date to April 2nd the summary would update to "Attendee analysis (04/02/2024)"

 

I've tried these but with no success:
{{issue.summary.replace("(\d{1,4}([.\-/])\d{1,2}([.\-/])\d{1,4})","duedate.format("(MM/dd/yyyy)")}}

{{issue.summary.replace("(MM/dd/yyyy)","duedate.format("(MM/dd/yyyy)")}}

replaceAll(String regex, String replacement)

Performs a regular expression search and replaces any match with the replacement. $1 can be used to access a matching group in the replacement.

Hi @Kara Cooper 

Please try escaping the parentheses around your date in the regular expression.  Like this:

{{issue.summary.replaceAll("(\(.*\))",issue.duedate.format("(MM/dd/yyyy)"))}}

And...because you are replacing the date, there is no need to reference the captured group from the regular expression search.

Kind regards,
Bill
