How can I set a custom due date using automation?

Samuel Prathipaty

Hi,

Our automation rule creates a few issues on a scheduled date. We want to set a fixed due date like November 30th, but the year should be based on the current year when the ticket is created. For example, if issues are created this year, the due date should be November 30, 2024. If issues are created next year, the due date should be set to November 30, 2025.

Hi @Samuel Prathipaty

You may do that in one step using the withAttribute() functions for date / time:

{{now.withMonthOfYear(11).withDayOfMonth(30)}}

Kind regards,
Bill

You may be able to create three variables:

1. Variable 1: "November 30, "

2. Variable 2: {{now.format("yyyy")}} <--- returns the year only

3. Variable 3: {{Variable 1}}{{Variable 2}}

Then enter {{Variable 3}} as the smart value in the field you want to set it

Hi Richard,

Thanks for your response. It is not working as expected. We are trying to achieve this for the due date system field. We have more than 10 tickets that will be created. How will this be set for all the issues?

What is the date format that your system field for due date uses?

It may be dd/MMM/yy in which case you will need the following Automation Rules logic:

Go to project settings for your project
Click Automation
Create New Automation Rule
Trigger: When New Issue is Created
Then: Create Variable
1. Variable Name: CurrentYear
2. Smart value: {{now.format("yy")}}
Then: Create Variable
1. Variable Name: DayMonth
2. Smart value: 30/Nov/
Then: Create Variable
1. Variable Name: DayMonthCurrentYear
2. Smart value: {{DayMonth}}{{CurrentYear}}
Then: Edit Issue
1. Select the Due Date field
2. Value: {{DayMonthCurrentYear}}

This should set the due date to Nov 30, for the current year when any issue is created. If you need this to only happen to a subset of issues, add an if statement after the Trigger.

Let me know if this works for you.
