Add dynamic date to recurring ticket title

philipf

I have monthly reccuring tickets.

I would like the title of the tauto-generated tickets to display the month they are being created in.

For exmaple, when the rules runs on the first of the month the summary would be on 6.1, June Billing Grid, and then the next month on 7/1 it would say July billing Grid as the ticket summary.

I am guessing in each ticket I need to add some snippet that says take the latest month, but can't find anything. (I am guessing would look like [%%currentmonth%%]

thank you

Hello @philipf 

Are you using Automation for Jira to create the issue?

If so, you can use a smart value that extracts the Month from the current date.

Reference these documents:

https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/api/java/time/format/DateTimeFormatter.html

Add the following into the Summary field entry in your automation rule to get the 3-letter code for the current month. Use 4 "L"'s if you want the full month name.

{{now.format("LLL")}}
