automation for due date = actual end

Yulia Kurgan-Ishmuratova

Hello everyone!

Need some advice in automations.

As we work with date and time (not only date) in our Jira projects, we use Actual start - Actual end fields. But we have to set Start Date and Due Date as well for some other reasons.

Is there a way to create a rule that could set a Due date from Actual end and Start date from Actual start?

Now I can't even find smart values for actual start - actual end fields...

Hope someone could help)))

Best regards

@Yulia Kurgan-Ishmuratova arent "Actual start" and "Actual end" Custom Fields? Because then you have to get them per customfield id like {{issue.customField_xxxxxxx}}. The ID of a custom Field you can find out in custom field section by looking in the url when you hover over the link for screens or projects. Also for end date maybe {{issue.dueDate}} is used. Hope this is of help.

Hi @Yulia Kurgan-Ishmuratova ,

Welcome to the community !!

To set Due date based on Actual Start field, you can set it easily in automation rule.

i.e. select rule action --> Edit issue, select Due date and copy field value from Actual end.
