How to log the release date

vincenzo.spatafora

Dear ALL,

I would like to log the release date of a version within an automation rule.

I use the "Log Action" with the following syntax:

but nothing is actually displayed.

I have tried also in this way:

and still no value.

Is this by chance a known issue or?

I use Jira DC version 9.12.

Thanks a lot.

Kind Regards,

Vincenzo.

Hi @vincenzo.spatafora , thanks for your post.

Couldn't you use the trigger of Version released https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/triggers-993924804.html and then use an action to capture the time with the {{now}}?

Would that work?

Best wishes

Hi @vincenzo.spatafora

Context is important for automation rule questions. Please post the following as they may explain why the suggestions from @Valerie Knapp and @Marc -Devoteam- are not working in your rule for the Fix Version's field smart value:

an image of your complete rule, in one single image for continuity
an image of the rule action(s) where you are trying to use that smart value expression
an image of the audit log details showing the rule execution

Thank you!

Kind regards,
Bill

Hi @Valerie Knapp,

thanks for your answer.

I use the "When: Version updated" trigger.

I don't understand as how to use the {{now}}.

Can you please explain better?

Thanks,

Vincenzo.

P.S.: I can log the version name with {{version.name}} but not the release date.

Hi @vincenzo.spatafora

You could use {{issue.fixVersions.first.releaseDate}}

Or use the solution @Valerie Knapp provided.

vincenzo.spatafora

Hi @Marc -Devoteam-,

thanks for that.

I have tried that out and NO value is logged.

I have tried also like this: {{issue.fixVersions.first.releaseDate.jiraDate}} and still nothing.

Can it be a bug?

I use Jira DC version 9.12.

Cheers, Vincenzo.

P.S.: I don't understand @Valerie Knapp suggestion and aksed to explain better.

Hi @vincenzo.spatafora , thanks for your reply.

When you say you want to log the time, do you mean you want to store the time in the Automation log? or do you want to record the time at which the Version is updated into a custom field?

If you want to record the time when the Version is updated, (in the cloud anyway), you should be able to have the trigger of when the Version is updated and then the action would be to update the custom field with the value of {{now}} to populate the field with the moment in which the Version is updated.

Se vuoi / puoi, possiamo anche scrivere qua in italiano. Sarebbe anche utile se puoi includere degli screen della regola che stai provando di realizzare.

Grazie @Valerie Knapp.

Intendo la release date of the version.

Hi @Bill Sheboy,

what a pleasure to read you again.

Find please below a screen-shot (either there is a genuine Jira bug or something wrong with the way "Releases" has been configured for my Jira System):

Thanks,

Vincenzo.

Ah, now I see the problem...

Your rule is triggered on Version Updated, which fires when a project version is changed:
- https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-automation-triggers-993924804.html#Jiraautomationtriggers-versioncreatedVersioncreated,updated,released
And, your rule is trying to access an {{issue}} smart value, which as no meaning / reference with that trigger! Indeed, there may be no issues assigned to this version.

When you want to access the issues assigned to that version you need to add a Branch to Issues in version, or use a JQL branch to access them:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation107/branch-automation-rules-to-perform-actions-on-related-issues-1595113595.html

Or, the rule could use the Lookup Issues action with JQL to access them:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/automation/jira-automation-actions-993924834.html#Jiraautomationactions-lookup-issues
