Hi @Ihsen Ben Maatoug

The smart value for that field is {{issue.fixVersions}} (please note it is plural): https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/#--issue.fixVersions--

Next, that is the incorrect syntax for the substring function: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-text-fields/#substring-int-start-

Finally, the Fix Version field can contain multiple values.  Do your issues ever have multiple versions selected?  If so, your rule need to handle that case.

Kind regards,
Bill
