Update Start Date anf Due Date

Laura Silva

Hello!

I have an automation that creates task and subtask in a Epic with set start date an due date using this formulas: 

start date: {{createdIssue.Due date}}

due date: {{Start Date.plusDays(X)}}

So if a epic is transitioned then is create a set of task with "waterfall" dates like this:

But sometimes we need to change the start date of a task, i want to be able to update the due date and start date of the following task with automation

Hello @Laura Silva 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

How do you know which task follows the one you update? Are they linked? If so, what type of link are you using?

If the issues are linked it is possible to create an Automation rule that will update the linked task. However, if the first linked task then has a linked task needing to be updated also, then the rule will be called again, and there is a limit to doing that sort of recursive rule calling to only 10 times. If there are more than 10 tasks linked in the chain, then the rule cannot update all of them.
