Hi everyone. I'm trying to create a smart value variable to use as part of an automation and I'm not sure why it's not working.I want to add a label that shows the due date year when a particular kind of issue type is created. So for example if the due date is June 4, 2026, then a label that says "2026" would get added by the automation. This is what I've set up:And then:But this what gets populated:Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong? Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi @Susan Merola
The Due Date field is a "date type" and Labels are text. The date value must be formatted to be used as a label, as described here: https://support.atlassian.com/cloud-automation/docs/jira-smart-values-date-and-time/#Date-format---
For example, you could use this to get just the year value as text:
{{issue.duedate.format("yyyy")}}
Kind regards,Bill
