Add a custom field to a Date

TILLENAYAGANE

Hi everybody,

I need your help please. I am beginner about JIRA

That I wanted :
I have two custom fields :

1) "Date de MEP" as a date (customfield_14329)

2) "Délai avant fin" as alphanumeric (customfield_16609) but this field has only numbers

With Autonomation, I want to substract "Délai avant fin" to "Date de MEP" and put the result in "Actual End" when "Délai avant fin" is changed
I try but doesn't work :

{{issue.customfield_14329.minusDays(("Durée de l'action").asNumber)}}

but

{{issue.customfield_14329.minusDays(3)}} : it's works with 3 but with doesn't work with a custom fields

Can you help me please ? Thank you very much

Hi @TILLENAYAGANE -- Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

In your first expression, the asNumber conversion is at the wrong location. It should be convert the text field to a number for use as a parameter:

{{issue.customfield_14329.minusDays(issue.customfield_16609.asNumber)}}

Kind regards,
Bill

First thing, for rules like this where conversion is involved, it helps to use writes to the audit log to check the values: https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-automation-actions-993924834.html#Jiraautomationactions-logactionLogaction

I recommend adding some writes to the audit log to help diagnose this during testing:

customfield_14329: {{issue.customfield_14329}}

customfield_16609: {{issue.customfield_16609}}

customfield_16609.asNumber: {{issue.customfield_16609.asNumber}}

Next, I found a defect indicating asNumber does not always work with text fields converted to numbers when used in a function call: https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JIRAAUTOSERVER-1084

Based on another workaround I recall for Jira Data Center, let's try forcing the field to text first and then to a number:

{{issue.customfield_14329.minusDays(issue.customfield_16609.trim().asNumber)}}
