Set custom date on field on a post-function transition

Matheus Tonial

I made a post function to set a field date to today, but I needed to add 7 days to it, I try many different ways but none work, any suggestion on how to do it on the post function and not with automation?

I didn't find any post that would solve my problem without using the script runner

Hi @Matheus Tonial

Welcome to the community.

This is not an option, you will need a marketplace app, like;

JMWE
JWT
JSU
Scriptrunnner

These apps can enhance workflow options and help you with your request or use Automation for this.

Hello Matheus Tonial,

I am Nacho and i am part of the Decadis team.

As @Marc -Devoteam- mentioned, it can be done with our app Jira Workflow Toolbox for Jira Cloud.

For this purpose, the Update fields post function can be created combined with the parser function addDays() to add 7 days.

Here is the expression that can be used:

%{addDays({system.currentDateTime}, 7, RUN_AS_LOCAL)}

And two screenshot of the post function configuration:

If you need more information, please feel free to create a ticket on our support portal.

Best regards,

@Matheus Tonial welcome to the community and thank you for your question.

I would recommend using an Automation Rule to set the date with the appropriate timestamp. This does not require an app at all.

Hi all,
A very similar question has been asked previously in this community:
How can I set a custom field date one week *before...

I'm hesitant to say that Google is my friend, but here it helped...

Hi @Dick

You mentioned article relates to Trello and not JIra.

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-,

It's the line of thought in the article and the use of smart values (kindly mentioned by @Kai Becker as well) that are very similar to the problem described here.

Hi @Dick

Yes in a way, but it can confuse people as all information in the article and related screenshots with configuration don't exist in Jira.

Hence this cold cause new questions from a user on options that don't exist in JIra
