How to set the due date of a story based on it's epic due date

Zsigmond Molnar_rvjyvr

Hi,

I want to create an epic and stories using automation rules.

Additionally, I want to set the due date of the story based on the due date of the epic.

(e.g.: story’s due date = epic’s due date + 10 business days)

 

Could you please assist me in configuring the automation rule correctly?

 

I tried the following scenarios:

 

Option #1

Due date field:

• {{issue.dueDate}}                                              --> It doesn’t work
• {{issue.dueDate.plusBusinessDays(5)}}             --> It doesn’t work

 

 

More options --> additional fields:

Option #2 --> It works

    releaseStartDate (variable) = {{now}}

 

    {

      "fields": {

        "dueDate": "{{releaseStartDate}}" }}

 

 

Option #3 --> It doesn’t work

    releaseStartDate (variable) = {{now}}

    {

    "fields": {

        "dueDate": "{{releaseStartDate.plusBusinessDays(10)}}"   }}

 

 

Option #4 --> It doesn’t work

     releaseStartDate (variable) = {{issue.dueDate}}

 

    {

    "fields": {

        "dueDate": "{{releaseStartDate.plusBusinessDays(10)}}"

 

   }}

Hello @Zsigmond Molnar 

When referencing fields in smart values, if you want to use display name, you have to be careful and specify exactly how its shown on the screen.

For example, correct syntax is: {{issue.Due Date.plusBusinessDays(5)}} 

As its shown on the screen. It takes the space as well.

Hope it helps.
