Trigger all Issue and Child-Issue to have startdate and due date update to one year later.

Brandon Monahan

I have created an issue with child issues, that I am using as a template. I have set issues/tasks that reoccur at the same time each year.

I want to be able to CLONE my template, and then run an automation that automatically changes the date to one year later. By doing this I can keep my timelines intact, since the same deadlines occur at the same time each year. 

The best I have been able to do is change it 

{{now.plusDays(365)}}. Not what I want, but at least gets me closer to the year, but it won't let me alter the start date, which messes up the timeline.   I would prefer if it found the issues current date and then added 365 days to that. 

Has anyone figured out how to clone, then move all the dates forward a year to keep the timelines intact?

Any help is appreciated. 

Thank you.

Hello @Brandon Monahan 

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

Can you show us screen images that show your entire rule, and that show the details of each step in the rule?

When you say "it won't let you" change the start date, exactly what do you mean? Are you getting an error message in the rule execution audit log? Or is the field simply not updating in the manner you expect? Please show use the rule execution audit log details for such a case, and show us one of the issues included in that execution of the rule.
