Is it possible to populate the Release Date into a date field through Smart Values?

Question

Hi Community,

I would like to populate the Delivery Date (a date field) from Release Date of Releases as and when an addition or updation made to the Fix versions field. Is it possible through Smart Values? I'm trying through the automation rules but this is not working out. Looking forward to solve this with your expertise.

Hi @ARAVINDAN.KUMAR -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

For a question like this, please post an image of your complete automation rule, images of any relevant actions / conditions / branches, an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution, and explain what is not working as expected.  Those will provide context for the community to offer ideas.  Thanks!

Until we see those...

Do you have only one or multiple values in your Fix Version Field?

If only one value, you may use releaseDate smart value: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-issues/#--issue.fixVersions--

If you have multiple values in the field, which one do you want to use?  For example, if you wanted to use the latest one in calendar time, the max function could be used: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-lists/#list.max

Such as with this:

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi,

I believe what you are looking for is this: {{issue.fixVersions.releaseDate}}.
