Trying to figure out why {{issue.customfield_11479.minusDay(2)}} is not returning any values.
As you can see in the first log {{issue.customfield_11479}} returns a value, but adding the minusDays(2) it returns nothing
Hi @Jeffrey Bistrong
Please try using minusDays() instead of minusDay(), as I believe all of the plus/minus ones use a plural name for the units of measure:

Kind regards,Bill
sorry got caught up in trying lots of the possibilities, but still nothing
What is the type of that custom field?
If it is not date type, you could add an asDate conversion before making the adjustment.
it is a date type, but it is a system field, so not sure if that has anything to do with it
However after multiple rounds of testing I got the following syntax to work. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction
{{issue.customfield_11479.toDate("yyyy-MM-dd").minusDays(7).jiraDate}}
Thanks, and I believe Target Start is one of those advanced roadmap fields which has some oddity with automation rules. Other built-in/system fields like that are indeed text and not date or date/time type, and so the conversion was needed. (Another example is the Status Category Changed Date, which is text for a date/time value.)
