Automation label text

Question

I would like to perform automation every 2 week to increment labels numbers, exmaple:

if label contains "WW" (i.e. full label: "WW47-48/2023") i would like to remove it and create and apply the incremented label "WW49-50/2023".

PS

i managed to do a scheduled automation, just need to figure out the labels

would it work:

{
  "update": {
    "labels": [
      {
        "add": "WW{{now.addWeeks(1).format("WW")}}-{{now.addWeeks(2).format("WW")}}/{{now.format("YYYY")}}"
      }
    ]
  }
}

?

Hi @Tamir Melamed ,

this is a bit more complicated than it looks because you need the Smart Value to identify the week number in the label, and then increase it.

I have not tested this, but you could try and see if this works for example :

"WW" + ({{issue.labels.first.match("WW(\d+)-\d+/\d{4}")[1]}} as number + 1) + "-{{issue.labels.first.match("WW\d+-(\d+)/\d{4}")[1]}}/{{issue.labels.first.match("WW\d+-\d+/(\d{4})")[1]}}"

You might need to adapt it if that doesn't work exactly as expected.

Let me know if this helps,
