I am trying to dynamically set the value of a customfield_12000 (multi select list) based on the following, the automation runs (whilst testing) manually
Hello @shane-nz
Sometimes the problem with an automation rule not working as expected is related to the context of the rule step. Please provide screen i.ages showing your entire rule and the details of the steps where you create the variable and steps where you use the variable.
Ideally I want to reference the conditional value of financialYear like this
You said the custom field is a multiple selection field. Are you wanting to add this as another value selected, or overwrite what is in the field with the new value?
Does the field already include in its list of selectable values the value to which you are trying to set the field?
Hi @shane-nz
With the date / time format function, you could get that financial quarter value in one step:
FY{{now.format("yyqqq")}}
This would work for any date, regardless of the current month. For example, for a date in February it would correctly return FY26Q1.
Please note well: that expression uses the yy format for years based on the calendar. If instead you use week-based years, try YY.
Kind regards,Bill
Let me try this
Note that the reference document from @Bill Sheboy (who is, by the way, an Automation Rules genius) was for Jira Cloud. Per the post tags Jira Server/Data Center is being used.

It looks like the information is the same, though.
Oops...thanks, @Trudy P Claspill :^)
