How to set Baseline Dates to match Target Dates

Isabella Musial

I am trying to create a Manual Automation Rule that would set the Baseline Dates to match Target Dates. 

1. IF Baseline Dates are empty
2. AND Target Dates are populated
3. THEN set Baseline Dates to match Target Dates
4. SO:
   1. Baseline start date = Target start
   2. Baseline end date = Target end

My Rule: 

However, I get an Error editing issues

DTO-11807 (Error parsing date string: (customfield_16818))

I also tried just using the following in place of the "More Options".

 

The Audit Log shows it was successful, but the field did not update.

I think my error is in the JSON, but could be wrong. I have tried the following in "More Options": 

"customfield_16818": "{{issue.Target start.startDate.jiraDate}}"

"Baseline start date": "{{issue.Target start.startDate.jiraDate}}"

"customfield_16818": "{{issue.Target start.startDate.jiraDate}}"

"Baseline start date": "{{issue.customfield_10103.startDate.jiraDate}}"

 

Thank you in advance for your help!
