Automation Question, can I set due / start date with sprint first / last day

Question

I want to create an automation that triggers when the Sprint has been added. When it's been added I want the start date to take on the first day of the sprint and the due date to be changed to the last day of the sprint. This is only relevant for user stories.

The reason being that I want this to be visible in our roadmap without needing to add start and due dates to everything. Also, when the sprint value changes it'll take on a new start and due date and it will always be up to date.

I think this doesn't quite match the OP's ask.

They did not ask to update the issue dates when the sprint is started. They asked to update the issue dates when the sprint is "added", as in the Sprint field in the issue is changed to add a future or current sprint.

Hey @Max Boerma ~ you can do that!  Use the "Sprint started" trigger and use {{sprint.startDate}} and {{sprint.endDate}} smart values in your "Edit issues" action.  Here's the reference to all sprint-related smart values:  https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-development/#--sprint--
