In our company, we work with several Jira Product Discovery projects. To keep an overview, we use global custom date fields: "Idea Start" and "Idea Target End". These are both date fields, and in Product Discovery there is only the Idea issue type.
I would like to use these fields in the roadmap view of my Jira project. Technically, this works, but keeping both fields up to date is quite time-consuming.
That’s why I want to set up an automation that updates the fields automatically, depending on changes in the issue. For example:
When a new Idea ticket is created → set Idea Start to now and Idea Target End to +3 months.
When the workflow status changes to Discovery → update both fields (Start = now, End = +3 months).
When the workflow status changes to Done → update Idea Target End to now.
Has anyone implemented something similar, or is there a recommended way to set up these kinds of date-based automations in Jira Product Discovery?
