child task due date based on Epic due date

Sophia Skinner_ojvlrb

Hello Atlassian community! 

 

I am trying to set up an automation where the due date of child tasks in an epic correspond to the epic due date and am looking for the right coding language for the section pictured. 

I have set up an automatic trigger that when an epic is created, it will automatically create a series of standardized child tasks underneath it. Next phase is to relate these child tasks to the epic due date so they occur in proper sequence.

So in the due date field for the child taks something along the lines of {{Issue.parent.dueDate.minusBuisnessdays(5)}}

Does anyone know how to properly code this?

Appreciate the help!!

Hi @Sophia Skinner and welcome to the Community!

Try the following syntax:

{{triggerIssue.dueDate.minusBusinessDays(5)}}

Do pay close attention to the syntax. Everything matters when you use smart values: you have a typo in minusBusinessDays in your current rule and the caps should be in the right places as well.

Hope this helps!
