How to set rules on customfields in Jira ?

Saloua_Toumi

Hello guys, 

I have a pretty confusing usercase, and it doesn't help being a Jira beginner . It would be much appreciated if I could get some of your helpful ideas.

 

I have a custom field "A" with ( X, Y, Z, W, U) as options.

And I have two date picker fields "date1" and "date2", I want to set date1 if rules apply, as follow: 

If A= X or Y  then date1=currentdate + 1 month

if A= Z  then date1=currentdate + 2 months

if A= W or U  then date1=currentdate + 3 months

After that: I want to compare date1 and date2. 

if date2 > date1 then date1 = date2, else, we keep date1 from previous result. 

 

I hope this is clear, I can be more specific if needed. 

We are using Jira 7.6, with Automation for Jira plugin (3.14.12). Plus Jira workflow toolbox.

 

Thank you in advance

Hi @Saloua_Toumi,

 

To this you need to create a rule that looks like the following:

 

First this rule uses If/Else branch to check the value of Field A and then set the Date 1 field appropriately.

It then refetches the issue data and performs the second check and updates Date 1 if needed.

 

The if/else branches should look like:

 

And the Edit would look like:

 

You then need to refetch the issue and compare it:

You can then copy Date 2:

 

Hope that is what you were after.

 

Cheers,

Nick
