Start/End dates according to release

[Artur Franczuk]

is there any quick/simple/automatic way to put start/end dates according to release and the fixversion the issue is assigned with?

Specific to roadmap topic, I think the "auto schedule" button is to do what you ask asking. But you need to set it up the way adv roadmap suggests.

I gave it a test and it seems it's working ;) thx!

Hi @Artur Franczuk 

Not sure if you are using Jira Cloud or not, but assuming you are, then using Automation would be the way to do this.

Setup a rule along the lines of:

Trigger = Field value changed (field being fix version), on edit and create.

Condition = When Fix version is not empty

Action = Edit issue (and set up the relevant date fields as follows)

{{triggerIssue.fixVersions.startDate.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}}

{{triggerIssue.fixVersions.releaseDate.format("yyyy-MM-dd")}}

Footnote:

You may wanna add in conditions around not updating the dates if already populated?

Up to you,

Just thought I'd add this, as the above will overwrite any existing dates, which might be what you want, or not.
