Using custom variables in date time manipulations

acam

Hi All! 

As a summary, I have a calculated custom variable that stores a number (could be 3, 5, etc) and thanks to logs I know it stores the value correctly. To make things simple I just put a number there. So, it has the number value, and I can see it on the logs.

 

 

 

So, I want to use it to make some date calculations, as seen below

 

 

Actually, I will update some fields on Jira issue, but for sake of simplicity, I just log the value of calculatedDueDate, which is EMPTY. if I manually type 3 in parenthesis, I see due date + 3 days. But if I use my custom variable, it doesn't work. 

 

I tried it with and without .toNumber, the result is the same. But I confirm that dateShiftInNumber custom variable has the value. So, do you know if there is any rules preventing using custom variables in date time operations? 

Any answer is appreciated! 

Thanks!

Yes. The problem was the syntax (isn't it always?)

the correct syntax is .asNumber, not .toNumber

It works as expected now.
